these streets, just hail a taxi particular in front of the Capitolio and ask them which
street they are going to travel along.
Summary
These are the most popular taxi particular routes in the main Havana neighbor-
hoods. There are dozens of other routes which can be useful if you have to get to
specific destinations, and those will be discussed throughout this topic. The
above routes, although they may seem complex at first glance, are actually rather
simple to understand once you become a bit familiar with the city. For a novice,
sticking with the main Vedado routes of 23rd street or Linea and using Neptuno to
travel through Central Havana on your return to Vedado will be the simplest op-
tions until you gain confidence to adventure further.
Interesting Fact: A child can ride in a taxi particular for free, as long as they are
seated on an adult's lap. Furthermore, for safety reasons, children must always
ride in the back seat of a taxi particular, whether they are accompanied by an
adult or not.
