Review: The Very Best Havana Map - I have been traveling to Havana for over 20 years and have used many maps of different sizes and shapes. In January 2016, I was fortunate to have bought the Havana City Street Map by VanDam Maps. Nothing can compare to this map for convenience, clarity, and attractiveness. It fits comfortably in a day pack or purse and allows one to quickly stop, locate one's whereabouts and find where one is headed. In my last visit, I was helping to coordiate a tour group from the United States. Everyone enthusiasttically used the VanDam maps while nativating the city. I hope they create one for every city I plan to visit.

Extremely helpful when staying in Old Havana

I did a decent amount of research/planning before going but decided to buy this map last minute on a whim and was really glad I did.

Even better than the offline map app!
This map is awesome! Just got back from Cuba and I couldn't believe how useful it was. I downloaded an offline map was was pretty good but this was actually even better. As a matter of fact, our host couldn't believe how useful it was so we left it with him for future travelers and I'm ordering another one. It has popular restaurants, places to visit and everything else you'd want. Water/humidity resistant and super lightweight. I recommend bringing a wax marker or white-erase marker for when you are in Cuba to keep track of where you are staying, where you want to go, etc.

This worked pretty well. The map has the majority of the places you'r probably going to check out, and for the few that weren't on there it's easy enough to drop a mark with a sharpie. The map is laminated and heavy duty so it can put up with inclement weather and rum spills.

This map was very useful for getting around in Central Havana and Old Havana
I'm just back from Havana. This map was very useful for getting around in Central Havana and Old Havana. I wish I could give it only 4.5 stars, because there were a couple of places in Old Havana that weren't on it - a church and plaza where our group was headed. I'd recommend supplementing this with another map, even if it's just something you print at home off the Internet. I had my smartphone with me, and used an offline map app on it which also helped a lot. Essentially, my phone worked as a GPS which was great. But phone batteries run out of juice, while a handy folding map doesn't!

Best map of Havana we found
We were in Havana in February of 2020 and this map was incredibly helpful. Because we didn't have easily available internet service as we typically would while traveling, a map was essential. This one lays out the important parts of the city in one place and is very easy to read. Everyone in our group loved it and wished they had one.

I just returned from Havana. This map is worth every cent. We were looking for an educational experience & our Airbnb host sent us a list of places to visit. Before we left, we looked up where our apartment was located & places we wanted to see. The map was extremely helpful to plan our trip and find our way around the city.

UNACCEPTABLE
This is one of the most useless products I have ever bought. Just an 8" by 24" laminated folder. Print so small that one needs a magnifying glass to read it. It took two weeks to deliver it. Unacceptable. Shipping cost was higher than the price of the item. Never buy this. Amazon has always shipped promptly, and had good product value. NOT THIS TIME !!!!!

Just got back from a week visiting Havana. We found this map very useful. It is compact, durable and well-designed so that you can easily open it and find where you are. We also found it reliable. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Havana, especially if you will be touring around on your own.

This map was perfect and helped us immensely in Havana. Worth the purchase!!

A helpful map, but could be improved through use of a larger scale; particularly of the oldest part of town; as designed, there's a lot going on which can tend to be a little confusing. The relatively small scale meant that, at times, it was easier to interpret an area from a separate larger scale map that I'd taken with me. On the plus side this is an affordable, and very "usable" map in a "flexible coated finish" which stood up well to the wear it had over our 5 days in Havana. It also fits very easily in the pocket and looks good!

Was so helpful when we were planning our Havana vacation and once we got there!
