Little Havana is easy to get to by car, bike or public transportation. Enter one of two local public lots from 14th Ave (between SW 8th and 9th Streets) (here parking is free); the other lot is located on 16th Ave. (near our office) between SW 7th and 8th Streets. Additional parking can be found (for free) along SW 8th Street and local residential streets, and local businesses between SW 13th and 14th Avenues often offer parking in their lots for a small fee. Local buses 7 and 8 run to and from the area on a regular basis. Many local tour companies bring groups to Little Havana for Viernes Culturales, too.
