Havana Bike Classic

Why a Classic tour?

Havana Bike Classic is the original tour of RutaBikes. It was designed for travelers who want to make the most of their time in Havana. It´s a good recommendation for those who stay in the capital for few days. Also for visitors who travel under tight schedules. We challenged ourselves to think of the ideal introductory route. As a result, we created this scenic, comprehensive, and relaxed cycling tour in one of the seven Wonder Cities. This tour is designed at a medium pace, with stops to take pictures, observe, ask questions, and take a rest. Therefore, the Havana Bike Classic works very well for different kind of clients. That is to say, families, group of friends, students and else. The experienced local guide will provide clear explanations, anecdotes, and genuine stories. All together will allow you to first, understand Havana´s chronological development, and second gain an insight into our culture & society. In addition, the guide will include tips and tricks, useful for the rest of your holidays in Cuba.

An all around tour in Havana

The Havana Bike Classic visits several of the Havana´s Highlights. For instance, the Great Metropolitan Park, a relevant forest in the city – the Colon Cemetery, the biggest in Latin America – The Revolution Square – The Old Square – San Francisco de Asís Square and others. But above all, we´ll be glad to show you those off the beaten path places in Havana. Sites such as Jesus Maria neighborhood, the markets Egido and Cuatro Caminos Cycling in the Old Havana certainly is the icing on the cake! Be ready for busy-noisy-lively streets. We make a 20-minutes coffee break at the Old Square. After that, the ancient colonial fortresses are the next destination. On one side, the Castillo de la Fuerza. In the distance, in the other shore of the bay, El Morro and La Cabaña.

A fresh conclusion.

Right after we take the way back along the iconic sea promenade, the Malecón of Havana. Last but not least, you will enjoy a delicious and refreshing fruit-vegetable juice in our favorite place, La Juguera, a small walk-up bar with a menu of 90 combinations.
