Cuba Highlights

Havana

Havana is a mix of colonial architecture and traditions that enchant the most demanding foreign visitor, who can go back in time by choosing from a wide selection of Havana tours.

For the culture and architecture enthusiasts, the old sector of town can be the most exciting Cuba travel experience, to be lived by walking its Plazas, cobbled-stone streets and alleys, churches, museums and art galleries or simply riding on old-timers along the malecon.

The cannon shot ceremony at La Cabana fortress, a colourful ceremony recalling the times when Spanish troops announced the closing of Havana’s pirate and buccaneers-proof walls, is a magnificent show. Vedado and Miramar neighbourhoods, which feature wider parks and avenues, are ideal for American vintage cars to roll along with modern vehicles. Every detail here is reshaped from the 50s. The renown artistic show at Cabaret Tropicana is a living witness of that glamorous epoch.

No tour of Havana is completed without following Ernest Hemmingway´s trail in Cuba: the famous Floridita bar, Cojimar’s fishermen village and the Vigia Farm.

For most travellers learning salsa and folk dancing or discovering the secrets of cigars’ rolling and Cuban rum’s blending would be an unforgettable experience. But learning to prepare a typical Cuban dish or a cocktail is also a temptation.
