Nuevo Vedado is a neighborhood in Havana, perfect for travelers who want quietness and contact with the local culture in the Cuban capital, as well as explore off the beaten paths in Cuba. In this area there are particular houses (casas particulares), with a total independence and gardens in front or around them that show a neighborhood with a beautiful view. The owners of them have official licenses that give the service of renting for foreign people.
