Little Havana

Bold. Authentic. Unforgettable.

Home / Guides / Little Havana

Little Havana is not a theme park. Calle Ocho is living culture: take your time, buy from local businesses, try Cuban coffee and respect the people playing dominoes. Sometimes the best souvenir is understanding a place a little better.

The short list

Calle Ocho

Cigar shops, murals and ventanita coffee windows along SW 8th Street.

Domino Park

Watch the regulars play at Máximo Gómez Park, quietly.

Ball & Chain

Live Latin music, mojitos and a dance floor.

Versailles

The legendary Cuban restaurant, a short ride west.

THE LOCAL MOVE

Ask before photographing people closely.
