Garden sights in Havana

  1. A

    Jardín Botánico Nacional

    Across the highway from ExpoCuba is the 600-hectare Jardín Botánico Nacional. The Pabellones de Exposición (1987), near the entry gate, is a series of greenhouses with cacti and tropicals, while 2km beyond is the tranquil Japanese Garden (1992). Nearby is the celebrated Restaurante El Bambú, where a vegetarian buffet (a rare treat in Cuba) is CUC$15. The tractor train ride around the park departs four times a day and costs CUC$3, gardens admission included. Parking costs CUC$2.
