Havana Map Print

Havana has one of the most recognizable urban forms in the Western Hemisphere. The tight colonial grid of Habana Vieja (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the long sweep of the Malecón along the waterfront, the wide tree-lined boulevards of Vedado. It's a city that photographs well — but a map print shows something photographs can't: the structure of it, the geometry, how the streets connect.

For Cuban Americans, Havana is the city that's always present even when you're far from it. A map print on the wall doesn't try to explain that. It just holds it.

The geography of Havana

The Malecón is Havana's emotional center — a 7-kilometer seafront boulevard running from the harbor mouth west through Centro Habana into Vedado. Setting your bearing so the Malecón runs along the top of the map is the most natural frame for Havana — it's how the city sits in memory.

Neighborhoods that reward zooming in: Habana Vieja's colonial grid around the four central plazas, Centro Habana's dense residential blocks, Vedado's wider tree-lined streets and the Cementerio de Colón, El Cerro, Miramar across the Almendares River.
