Destination introduction

Cuba's capital city is simply bursting with character and charm and it possesses a unique allure that fascinates and delights visitors from around the world. Set along a dramatic coastline with a beautiful natural harbour flanked by ports, this designated UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts stunning colonial architecture, vibrant culture, beautiful theatres and an incredible music scene. Havana was once a port plagued by pirates and the fortresses put in place to keep it safe are still in place today and are well worth a visit. The classic American cars that dot the streets and the eclectic mix of architecture ranging from colonial to classical to modernist are a throwback to the grandeur and glamour of Havana in the 1950s.
