General info:

Cuba is only a few miles away from Florida, so thousands of immigrants from Havana made Miami their new home. Little Havana is a neighborhood in Miami, where the Hispanic cultural influence is strong. When they came to Florida, Porto Ricans and Cubans gave this part a touch of their spirit in order to feel like home.

Calle Ocho is the most famous street of the little Havana and is the center of the cultural life of the district. Every year a festival celebrating differences is held here. Over million people wear the flags of their old countries.

Getting there:

Little Havana is located south of the downtown Miami. The subway doesn’t go through this area, so getting by bus is the best solution. Buses #6, #7, #8, #11, #207, and #208 connect this area with the rest of Miami City.

Costs:

The restaurants and bars in the area of Little Havana offer traditional national dishes of Cuba and other Caribbean and South American countries at very affordable prices.
