Map of Havana

Havana is located on the northwest coast of Cuba, 145 km south-southwest of Key West, Florida. One of the oldest cities in America and the the largest populated city in the Antilles. Havana has one of the best natural port and harbor facilities in the Western Hemisphere.

The older, historic part of Havana sets on the west side of the harbor, while the newer, industrialized portion extends to the west and south of the older, colonial part of the city. Industries include oil refineries, assembly plants, rum distilleries, sugar refineries, cigar factories, textile mills, and packing plants. Most of the people, who work in the Havana industries, live to the west and southwest of the City.
