Yahima Vega
Center of Havana's nightlife
Vedado is the most modern and central part of the Cuban capital. This neighborhood around Plaza de la Revolucion is home to the both bourgeois houses of the early twentieth century as well as more contemporary modern buildings. The theaters, cinemas, bars and restaurants make it the center of the city's nightlife. Young people from across the country come here to study at the main university and many of the government institutions have their offices here.
