Vedado

|
The Vedado area of Havana is the most modern of all the quarters. Marked by high rises and a four lane highway, it's not the most picturesque area of Havana. That said, Vedado is the commercial hub of Havana and contains the workings of any major city downtown area such as government offices, hotels, and shops.
There are several major attractions in Vedado, the most important being the monument to revolutionary hero José Martí. Also of note is the historical quarter that is marked by beautiful old homes. Getting around is best done by taxi, as distances between sights are too far to walk except for the very committed.
