Das Eigentum — Casa Algadadiva
Stepping inside Casa Algadadiva feels like entering a private, lived-in gallery of colonial Havana, where high ceilings, Spanish floor tiles, and tall wooden shutters block out the midday heat. It is a restored 19th-century townhouse in the San Isidro neighbourhood, characterised by its internal courtyard filled with potted plants and mismatched antique rocking chairs. This spot suits independent travellers who prefer local interaction and a slow, self-directed pace over the predictability of state-run mega-hotels.
Chroniken von Havana
Founded by the Spanish in 1519, Havana became the prime staging ground for treasure galleons returning to Europe, prompting the construction of formidable stone fortifications like the Castillo de la Real Fuerza. Over the centuries, its architecture evolved from Spanish baroque and neoclassical to the sprawling art deco apartments of the Vedado district. Today, the city operates in a complex post-Soviet reality, where crumbling 18th-century plasterwork stands directly alongside a thriving independent arts scene. It remains a place defined by its physical decay, resilience, and improvisational street culture.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Havana-Guide →Die besten Monate
January and February offer the most comfortable temperatures, hovering around 22°C, with minimal rainfall and cool evening breezes blowing in off the Malecón.
Peak / Festival Surge
December is the absolute peak, driven by the International Festival of New Latin American Cinema and holidaymakers seeking winter warmth, which causes room rates across Havana to spike by up to thirty percent.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and November serve as the best transition months, offering a compromise of lower accommodation rates and fewer crowds before the heavy summer rains and hurricane season begin.
Wetter & Verpackung
July brings intense, tropical humidity and sudden, heavy afternoon downpours that can flood historic streets in minutes. Pack quick-drying linen clothing and a sturdy, compact umbrella rather than a heavy waterproof jacket.

Top-Attraktionen in Havana
💡 Go early (8-9am) before tour groups arrive. The adjacent Museo de Arte Colonial costs a couple of CUP but gives rooftop views of the plaza for free once you're inside.
💡 Start at the Hotel Nacional end, walk east towards Havana Vieja during late afternoon when the breeze picks up. Watch for crumbling seawall sections after storms.
💡 Take a bus or taxi from central Havana (about 15 mins). No security or fences around it; it's a regular neighbourhood park. Best visited late afternoon when it's cooler and the sun makes the bronze glow. The nearest cafe sells decent iced coffee.
💡 Skip the overpriced audio guide. Bring small CUP notes for the locked donation boxes in some rooms. The Granma Memorial outside (the yacht used in the 1956 landing) is free to view through the fence; you can see it from outside the museum grounds.
💡 Arrive by 8pm on Thursday or Friday to avoid huge queues. Pay in CUP at the door if you have it; the card machine sometimes fails. Check their Facebook page for schedule changes.
