Havana
To visit Havana is like stepping back in time.
This vivacious city is entangled in a era where
1960’s Cadillacs still cruise the streets, cigar
smoke wafts in the air and the dancing girls still
strut their stuff in the Tropicana cabaret. The
ghosts of Che Guevera and Ernest Hemingway
are there too. Havana is steeped in nostalgia.
Havana combines history with a vibrancy
that few other capital cities can match. Join
the locals at sunset on the Malecon, Havana’s
seaside promenade, watch them rumba in the
streets or join the queue outside Coppelia for
Cuba’s most popular ice creams. Pay homage
to Hemingway at his former home, Finca La
Vigia. Watch cigars being rolled and dine out at
the art deco Hotel Nacional, once frequented
by Disney, Churchill and Sinatra.
