The Jewish Community has left it´s footprint in Havana City. But specifically in Old Havana it´s unnoticed, unless you have a little help...
That is what I want to give you. So, if you, like me, admire the Jewish culture and legacy, don´t miss this chance to walk into the deep Old Havana and see the scenario where the jews began their life in Cuba.
We will begin in one the most stylish hotels at the present in Havana whose inspiration concept is... (guess what!)...the jewish legacy. We will be seeing what was their most picturesque commercial street, their oldest places of worship, bakery, butchery, former businesses ...and more! Let´s visit some curious locations that had to do with the jewish daily life decades ago.
You will see new projects in Old Havana with a sincere intention to honor the jewish presence in Cuba.
We will end in El Vedado seeing the present day life of the community.
(This will be also a very useful experience to contrast the restored area in Old Havana with the one that have not received any restoration at all).
Other things to note
Most of the places we will visit don´t belong to the jewish community today and are abandoned. All located in the non restored sector in Old Havana and in El Vedado. Sort of archaeology tour.

I´m an all life cuban resident working as an architect since 2014. The history of Jewish Comunity in Cuba is the main topic of investigation of my mother, who is a professor at Havana University. I learned with her about the most important places for jewish people in Havana.
I love walking and knowing my city and (specially) Old Havana as the palm of my hand and discovering it´s amazing and unnoticed places with stories to tell.
Working as an architect in some of the restoration and new projects in progress had given me a perspective of Havana City I would love to share with you.

We will visit places that actually belongs to the jewish community and some that doesn´t , so you will need extra help to recognize them. We are going to start in Plaza Vieja, Old Havana, to enjoy the restored sector at the very beginning. Then we will move to the real Old Havana, avoiding turistic zone.
We will take a taxi passing Centro Habana to arrive to El Vedado, where we finish.

We had a wonderful time on the Jewish Footprint in Havana tour! Carolina was super knowledgeable and was eager to share that knowledge with us. We learned so much about Havana's Jewish history and discovered interesting spots and facts that we wouldn't have known about on our own. She also went out of her way to help us - I had a question about Shabbat services, and she helped me find out the information I needed, even calling a community member on her phone to verify what we were told. I felt very taken care of. I highly recommend Carolina's tour!

This was an amazing tour. I definitely wouldn’t have learned about the Jewish history of Cuba without Carolina’s help, as it is not readily apparent. She is very passionate about this slice of history and immersed with what remains of Jewish Cuban culture; she said hello to some of her Jewish friends while on our tour :) Carolina also welcomed questions. She was very engaged and eager to share her knowledge. I totally recommend this tour. Thank you, Carolina, for keeping this part of history alive!!

It was a cold day in Havana, (not usual), but the tour warmed us up ! it was informative , educational and interesting. We went into an old synagogue now someone’s apartment , I think that was so authentic that it took the tour over the top. The Shuls , the background.... current living style of the communities... Carolina had much to say and give ! Thank you for a wonderful day! And I recommend this tour !
