Havana Bike Sunset

Why a Sunset Tour?

The Havana Bike Sunset makes you discover details of our culture, history, and Personalities related to specific places in the city. This is also the tour of the active Havana. In the afternoon, the “habaneros” return home from work or school. The streets get crowdy, and it’s a chance to witness the local dynamics of the neighborhoods at its busiest time. It is an old habit for Havana residents, to walk on the streets, instead of on the sidewalks. Even the kids play the ball, making pauses when cars approach. We’ll be cycling inside this “social soup”. But don’t worry, just be careful, patient, and flow inside it.

The city, a storyteller

Havana Bike sunset is a tour that we especially enjoy to guide. Our tour stops at places with interesting old stories. One of them is Casa de la Amistad, a beautiful mansion that witnessed a passionate and tragic relationship. Back in the time, the story headed the newspapers. Today, concerts and cultural events take place there. John Lennon´s Park is also on the way. You will be amazed, not particularly with the statue of the “dreamer”, but with the contradictory story behind the piece of art. San Isidro is a neighborhood in Old Havana setting trends about street art. We will admire some of its colorful graffiti. Meanwhile, you will hear about the lights and shadows of the neighborhood. From famous popular musicians formed in its humble streets, to dark stories of a character named Alberto Yarini.

Sunset at Malecón

Besides that, the Havana Bike Sunset tour visits a big Crafts Fair, the Capitol of Havana, a floating quay by the bay, and finally la Casa de los cocos, where we take a pause to drink fresh coconut water. Cycling Havana at twilight is a different perspective. Thanks to the bike, you will be an active spectator during the rush hour. Don’t forget to take pictures during the pauses, especially at Malecón. At this hour, the light will be perfect.
