Unlike the colonial charm of Old Havana, Vedado pulses with a more contemporary rhythm, centered around the iconic Hotel Nacional and the sweeping Malecón seawall. Here, you'll find the city's best nightlife, from legendary jazz clubs like La Zorra y el Cuervo to open-air salsa venues. By day, explore the sprawling Cementerio de Colón, a city of elaborate marble tombs, or stroll through the green expanse of the Parque de la Fraternidad. The area is also home to the University of Havana and numerous cultural institutions. Vedado offers a genuine taste of Havana's soul, where faded elegance meets a lively, forward-looking spirit, making it an essential base for any traveler seeking the city's true pulse.",[10,13,16],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","106",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","104",{"key":17,"value":18},"Fire","105",[20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41],{"key":21,"value":22},"Do I need a visa?","Yes, most visitors need a tourist card (visa).
