Parque Central
Parque Central in Centro Havana lies near the edge of the Havana Vieja, near the Capitolio. The park was designed in the 1870s. In the middle of the square stands a statue of Jose Marti where a statue of Isabella II used to be located. It is a nice area to relax during the day and also worth a visit in the evening when locals gather here to talk. There are a couple of large hotels and 19th and 20th Century buildings that line Parque Central.
