Timeline
14:00
Grab a seat at Coppelia Ice Cream parlour. It is a Cuban institution, but be prepared that people wait up to an hour to get in. Since you are starting at 14:00, you might find a seat faster than during peak dinner hours.
14:35
Walk west for about 25 minutes to see the Eva Perón statue. She was the First Lady of Argentina, and this public art piece stands in the neighborhood.
15:10
Continue your stroll southwest for another 43 minutes to find the José Martí statue. Martí is considered a national hero, poet, and philosopher, and his likeness is a prominent feature here.
Local tip
The walk between the ice cream shop and the statues is entirely within the Vedado district. Keep an eye on the opening hours for Coppelia if you plan to visit later in the day, as it is open 24/7, but other spots may have limited evening access.
Check before you go
