Welcome to
Havana
Cuba
Havana is unlike any other city on earth — a time-capsule capital of crumbling colonial grandeur, 1950s American automobiles in candy colours, and a people of extraordinary warmth and musical talent. The Malecón seawall, where Habaneros gather at sunset to drink rum and play guitar, is one of the world's great public spaces. Cuba's isolation has preserved Havana's architectural beauty and given its culture an authenticity that is increasingly rare, and while the city faces real challenges, its energy, its music — son, rumba, jazz — and its fierce sense of identity make it one of the most memorable places a traveller can visit.
