Start with a mojito at La Bodeguita del Medio. It is a historic bar and former hangout of Ernest Hemingway. Arriving an hour early helps you beat the evening tourist crowds from Varadero.
17:17
Our Lady of Kazan Orthodox Cathedral
Walk to the Our Lady of Kazan Orthodox Cathedral. It sits on the corner of San Pedro Ave and Santa Clara, right on the shore of Havana Harbour. This is the prime spot to watch the sunset.

Our Lady of Kazan Orthodox Cathedral
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The cathedral offers a clear view of the harbour as the light fades.
18:24
Head to Los Marinos, a seafood restaurant on a pier in the harbour. The big terrace catches the breeze from the water, making it a pleasant place to relax with seafood and a drink as night falls.
Local tip
Los Marinos is open until 23:00, so you have plenty of time for dinner after the sunset.
