Havana La Regla is located across the bay from Old Havana City. This lesser known destination is a quiet and beautiful place with a mainly black population. Here time has stood still.
Visit the small and lovely Church with the Black Madonna. You will appear to step into a different era, a peaceful world far from the hectic city streets.
To start your trip, go to the terminal “Siera Maestro” in Old Havana, which is opposite the well known bar Los Dos Hermanos (the two brothers) near the Rum Museum. A small ferry boat travels between the waterfront and La Regla. The trip takes 15 to 20 minutes and costs next to nothing (2 peso Cubano). Ideal for a Sunday afternoon. Take a picnic and drinks with you however, since the place has no bars or shops.
