Habana Vieja
Perfectly located just steps from Havana’s 18th-century cathedral, this small but eclectic shop is run by a group of Cuban artists of various disciplines and features a wide range of decorative and functional items for the home, as well as jewelry and some clothing. The designers make modern creations from iconic objects of Cuba’s past.
You can grab a cup of coffee here, too.
