Havana
About Havana
Havana is a city frozen in time yet bursting with life, where vintage American cars cruise past crumbling colonial palaces and the sound of salsa spills from every doorway. Cuba's charismatic capital is a living museum of Spanish colonial architecture, with the UNESCO-listed Old Havana neighbourhood showcasing centuries of history in its grand plazas and baroque cathedrals. The Malecón seafront promenade stretches for eight kilometres along the coast, serving as the city's social hub where musicians, lovers, and fishermen gather at sunset. From hand-rolled cigars and world-renowned rum to electrifying live music and revolutionary history, Havana captivates visitors with an energy and authenticity found nowhere else on Earth.
