It was nice to see but we were not allowed in, no one is except students and teachers. Very greek temple in style, the scene of many battles between students and Batistas police.

A stop at the University of Havana is a MUST on your Havana itinerary! A very easy walk from nearby Hotel Nacional and Havana Libre, the university's courtyard offers a quiet escape from the noisy city. As others have mentioned, the facade/main building and the Alma Mater statue and stairs in front of it are simply amazing. However, once you... More

It was a real treat to tour the campus and speak with a faculty member. The campus is pretty and the entrance has a wonderful view.

After a few hours with a group of friends from Brazil meeting students and just having fun outdoors in a beautiful night I was able to get a sense of the great space and all sort of people that are lucky to attent such a great institution.

The University of Havana Campus is simply beautiful and well worth walking through. You get a feeling of what Cuban College students are like,plus get to admire all the beautiful buildings/statues. Its Free, Centrally located and doesnt take much of your time. Its Great for quick rest stop and photo taking.
