📍 Destination Overview
Havana, Cuba's capital, spreads along the Caribbean shore in the island's northwest. Its UNESCO-listed colonial quarter winds baroque, pastel buildings around charming plazas; most iconic are the colorful American classic cars and the long Malecón promenade. Hemingway lived here, and rum, cigars and salsa are everywhere in this nostalgic metropolis.
