Havana

Havana, Cuba’s captivating capital, is an architectural time capsule where Spanish colonial palaces, Art Deco landmarks and spectacular mid-century modernist buildings coexist in varying states of restoration and decay. The UNESCO-listed streets of Old Havana reveal magnificent plazas, colourful façades and ornate balconies, while Vedado showcases the city’s remarkable modernist heritage. Along the Malecón, grand buildings overlook the Caribbean Sea, creating one of the world’s most atmospheric urban waterfronts. Vintage American cars, contemporary galleries and an extraordinary musical culture add to Havana’s unmistakable character.

Food and drink are inseparable from Cuban identity. Traditional ropa vieja, fresh seafood and moros y cristianos feature alongside an emerging independent restaurant scene, often housed in restored colonial mansions. Historic cocktail institutions celebrate the daiquiri and mojito, while intimate bars, rooftop terraces and live music venues keep Havana’s legendary nightlife alive.
