"ZENTRUM" Bike Tour

"ZENTRUM" Bike Tour

The Centro Habana or Zentrum tour is one of the most popular options we have. In a 3-hour tour of this area of Havana, visitors learn firsthand how the locals live. The most important stops include small private businesses, stores, spaces to learn about the Afro-Cuban religion...among others.

The highlights of Havana can be discovered in the “ZENTRUM”:

• RutaBikes Office
• Visit to Trillo Park and the emblematic neighborhood of Cayo Hueso, an iconic neighborhood, a traditional, mostly working class neighborhood, populated by Afro-Cubans and is known for its numerous cultural attractions, such as Hamel's Alley, the Museo Fragua Martiana and the University Martyrs Park.
• Visit Havana's Chinatown, one of the oldest and largest Chinatowns in Latin America.
• Visit the Capitol of Havana, a building with a neoclassical colonnaded facade and a dome that reaches 91.73 m in height. It was built between 1926 and 1929, commissioned by the then Cuban President Gerardo Machado. The building was destined to house and be the seat of the two chambers of the Congress or legislative body of the Republic of Cuba.

• Visit the Paseo del Prado, located in the busy area of Old Havana, which marks the border with Central Havana, extending from the Fuente de la India and the Plaza de la Fraternidad to the Malecón. It was built in 1772 under the colonial government of the Marquis de la Torre, Captain General of the island, which at that time was one of the most flourishing Spanish colonies in America.
