Timeline
10:00
Tour the Havana Club Rum Museum. The exhibits are self-explanatory and mostly subtitled in English, making it easy to follow the history of Cuban rum production without needing a guide. Arriving at opening helps you beat the midday heat and crowds.
10:45
Walk eight minutes to Los Marinos for lunch. This seafood restaurant sits on a pier in Havana harbour. The big terrace offers a pleasant breeze from the water on warm days, and prices range from affordable to moderate. It is open from 10:00 to 23:00, so it is ready for your arrival.
11:45
End your walk at the Cristo de La Habana. This large sculpture of Jesus overlooks the bay from a hilltop. It is a 16-minute walk from your lunch spot. The view provides a final, sweeping perspective of the city and the water you just enjoyed.
Local tip
The museum exhibits are fairly self-explanatory, so you can move at your own pace. Los Marinos is best for its atmosphere and view rather than gourmet complexity. Check the route for the walk up to the Christ statue if you are not used to hills.
