The church is located at the entrance of the Old Habana town and the whole area is kept very clean and there are many shops and good restaurants and bars.
Easily missed but very worthwhile.There is always a little breeze
blowing because it is close to the port. Beautiful with areas to sit down and picture takings are a must. On the convent side, there is a statue of Mother Teresa and a lovely garden when it is open.
A great spot to have a beer or two and watch people. Cafe like starbucks and a chocolate store..what is not to like!
Smaller than Plaza Vieja situated near the port but should not be overlooked. Many tourist groups to see the church. Entertainers and local dressed women to take them photo (not free). The large building opposite the Plaza was the terminal train station where the merchandise were loaded to the ships.Mostly an office area but there are some hotels and restaurants around.
Wonderful bronze statues and you just stand in awe of the old Spanish style buildings, the cathedral and just soak up the atmosphere of Old Havana.
The architecture is incredible. There are many restored buildings. The square is full of people and lots of photo ops. There is a micro-brewery that was very good. Take a walk down one of the adjoining alleyways and give gifts or money to the locals, it is very fulfilling and you will see more of the real nitty gritty of how people live. I never felt unsafe or threatened and the people were very appreciative of our gifts (money, toiletries, toys, etc.).
