Here are a few pictures shot on our
art deco tour of Havana.
We had a guide
and an architectural expert on the tour, pointing out the major art deco attractions in the suburbs of
Playa,
Miramar and
Vedado, finishing off at the Bacardi building in Old Havana. Well worth the trip if you have a morning to spare on your stay in Havana (
and have an interest in some of the different architecture in the city).

Once a private house (now nationalised) it has a neo-classical exterior with plenty of art deco interior elements.. |

Foyer of one of the city's most iconic art deco apartments - El edificio López Serrano (Looks like it could easily be a set for Batman Returns..).
Sadly in need of a lot of repair... |

| Adjacent to the El edificio López Serrano, this old basement garage door in the art deco style needs just a bit more love and attention to prevent it from disintegrating entirely! |
