Parque Lennon
Features the only statue of a western musician in Havana. Notable for the regularly stolen (and replaced) eyeglasses.
Cementerio de Cristóbal Colón
One of the great historical cemeteries of the world, important in both historical and architectural terms. It's not possible to see much from behind the fence.
A lively pedestrian zone full of locals spending their free time.
Teatro Nacional de Cuba
Come here for concerts, the Ballet Nacional de Cuba and teatre. Functions are held irregularly. Beware of scams as ushers try to sell you the same ticket for up to ~US$25 shortly before the function starts (and only paying the nationals price). Instead go to the box office to get it for the official price.
Huge square dominated by a statue and monument of Jose Marti and the iconic image of Che Guevara adorning the Ministry of the Interior. Arrive either early or late, as it is often swamped by tourists and gets very hot during the day.
This heavily fortified and guarded building is where Cuban citizens go to apply for U.S. visas. It was notable for displaying news which was unfiltered and not censored by the Cuban government on electronic billboards behind the windows of one of the floors, but these were switched off in 2009. It is also the focus for regularly staged protests.
