Vedado is the commercial core and the main residential district of Havana, Cuba. It is one of the areas of Havana with a great North American environment. It has a small complex of skyscrapers, inspired by the Art Deco buildings of New York and Miami, a good example of which is the López Serran Building. In the historic "Hotel Nacional" there was a huge casino, pure Las Vegas style and other hotels and places in the area were controlled by powerful gangsters; all this changed in 1959, when Fidel Castro entered, with his army of revolutionaries and installed himself in the Hotel Havana Hilton, renamed the Hotel Habana Libre. Around 175,000 inhabitants currently live in Vedado and has quiet residential areas, numerous theaters, restaurants, paladares, Cuban restaurants, bars and an excellent nightlife. The district is divided in two by the avenue Avenida de Los Presidentes and is home to beautiful parks and Avenida 23. Some mandatory stops in this district are the giant Revolution Square with the Monument in honor of José Martí, the Napoleonic Museum, the University of Havana and the Necropolis of Christopher Columbus. The Malecón of Havana extends above all in this neighborhood, another destination for visits. It is interesting to know that, on alternate Saturdays, in via n. 4 (calle Calzada and Línea) are celebrated on Saturdays of Rumba, with performances of music and dance created by the Folklórico Nacional complex. The shows are very educational, as they mix Afro Cuban rhythms with religious representations and jokes that explain the executions step by step.

Unlike the Historic Center, Vedado is already part of Modern Havana, not neglecting its rich history and beautiful architecture since the early twentieth century

Vedado is a central business district and urban neighborhood in the city of Havana, Cuba. Bordered on the east by Calzada de Infanta and Central Havana, and on the west by the Alemendares River and Miramar / Playa district, Vedado is a more modern part of the city than the areas to the east, developed in the first half of the 20th century, during the Republic period. In 2016 it was described by one commentator as the city's "most affluent" section.[1] The main street running east to west is Calle 23, also known as "La Rampa". The northern edge of the district is the waterfront seawall known as the Malecón, a famous and popular place for social gatherings in the city. The area popularly referred to as 'Vedado' consists of the wards (consejos populares) of Vedado, Rampa, Vedado-Malecón and Carmelo, all in the municipality of Plaza de la Revolución.
