About Havana

Havana is a city of pastel facades and iconic vintage cars, where every street tells a story of centuries of warmth and resilience. Wander the cobbled lanes of Old Havana, a UNESCO-listed labyrinth of plazas, baroque churches, and lively plazas like Plaza de Armas and Plaza Vieja, then ride along the Malecón at sunset as waves crash against seawalls. The Capitolio gleams beside grand neoclassical mansions, while the museums, galleries, and vibrant music venues showcase Cuban creativity. Day trips to nearby beaches in Playas del Este or the fort at Morro, and evenings of salsa, cigars, and rooftop views complete Havana’s irresistible rhythm.
