Where’s the University of Havana located?

From there, other campuses and faculties are spread across different areas of the city.

Best neighbourhoods to live near the University of Havana

These are some of the most convenient neighbourhoods to live near the institution:

Vedado

As the neighbourhood where the main campus is located, it’s definitely the best area if you’re looking for proximity to the University of Havana. In fact, it’s home to a large number of students, so it has a very lively atmosphere. It has a variety of bars and restaurants, as well as an active nightlife and various entertainment venues (including the famous Yara cinema). It’s also very close to the city centre!

Centre of Havana

Located right between Old Havana and Vedado, Central Havana is an ideal area both for being close to the University of Havana and for being in a historic and cultural area. It’s a neighbourhood that allows you to fully immerse yourself in local urban life, and it usually offers a good balance between price and location when it comes to accommodation.

Nuevo Vedado

Nuevo Vedado is very close to Vedado. It has a more residential and modern atmosphere, with slightly taller buildings and iconic spaces such as the Plaza de la Revolución. It’s a convenient location from which to travel to the University of Havana, but you may need transport to get to other livelier places.

Student residences near the University of Havana

In Havana, the availability of university residences is limited and, in most cases, they’re managed directly by the universities themselves.

However, not all institutions offer this type of accommodation, so it's important to check whether the university where you’re going to study offers this option among its alternatives.

  • It's normal for universities to put exchange students in touch with "host families", families who help students integrate into local life and accompany them so that they don’t feel alone.
