Central Park, or Parque Central, is a public square at 267 Agramonte in Havana, beside Old Havana’s notable architecture. A white statue of José Martí stands among palm trees, paths and flowerbeds, while vintage cars gather nearby. The square is also a departure point for city tours by car, horse-drawn carriage and open-top bus. Look toward the Municipal Building and the opera house, or pause here at sunset before continuing your walk through the city.
