Havana Cuba

Havana is the capital city of Cuba and the epicentre of Cuban culture, brimming with visual artists, musicians, poets, dancers, actors and writers and it is the home base of the world-renowned Ballet Nacional. Havana is the type of city where history seeps from every street and building and from every church and square. Vintage cars, baroque style buildings, grand mansions and palaces and beautiful courtyards decorate its streets. Stroll along the famous Malecon for stunning views of the Bay and the Morro Fortress, which lies behind historical colonial style architecture. Old Havana, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982, is the oldest part of Havana city and it is a blend of narrow cobblestone streets, elegant beautifully restored buildings and ancient crumbling ruins. This part is fused with the most modern and eclectic buildings which lend a touch of dynamic cosmopolitanism. The dome of the National Capitol Building dominates the Havana skyline. Inside there is a statue of La Republica, the largest indoor bronze effigy in the world. There is also a massive and historic gallery, a 25-carat diamond that marks the exact centre of the city and the headquarters of the Cuban Natural History housing the country's largest natural history collection. There are two major cigar factories in Havana, the Partagas being the oldest. This working cigar factory is another “don’t miss” Havana experience. Havana is a unique and captivating city that buzzes with street life, joy and charm.
