Je l'ai déjà été !Explora el fascinante pasado de Havana y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
Founded in 1519 by the Spanish conquistador Diego Velázquez, San Cristóbal de La Habana quickly became the most important port in the New World. Its strategic location at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico made it a meeting point for Spanish fleets loaded with treasure, which made it a constant target for pirates and privateers, leading to the construction of a formidable system of fortresses.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the city flourished thanks to the sugar and tobacco industry, building opulent baroque and neoclassical palaces. The 20th century brought a strong American influence, transforming Havana into a playground for the world's elite, with mafia casinos, luxury hotels and legendary nightlife.
The Cuban Revolution of 1959, led by Fidel Castro, drastically changed the course of the city. Casinos closed and many buildings were nationalized. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the city went through the 'Special Period', a harsh economic crisis. Today, Havana lives a complex reality, balancing its socialist legacy with a growing private economy ('self-employment') and a resurgence of tourism that seeks its unique authenticity.

One of the safest large cities in Latin America in terms of violent crime. The main problem is petty theft and scams.
A paradise for walkers. Old Havana, Centro Habana and Vedado are fascinating neighborhoods that are best explored on foot.
Extremely difficult for tourists. The bus system ('guaguas') is overcrowded and complicated. Most tourists depend on taxis.
It can be surprisingly affordable or quite expensive, depending on your choices. Eating and staying in local houses is the best value for money option.
Legendary. Nightlife in Havana is live music, from salsa and Cuban son to jazz, in places ranging from large cabarets to small bars.
Culture is the soul of Havana. Music, dance, visual arts and literature are omnipresent and of exceptional quality.
It has improved dramatically thanks to 'paladares' (private restaurants), which offer creative and delicious Cuban cuisine.
Very limited. It is not a shopping destination. People come here for the experiences, not the products.
Fantastic tropical weather for most of the year, although summer can be oppressively hot and humid.
Cubans are incredibly friendly, but the lack of infrastructure (especially internet) and the complexities of the economy can make travel challenging.
It is a very safe destination for families and Cubans love children, but the lack of modern infrastructure can be a challenge.
Attitudes are improving and there is growing acceptance, but it is still a conservative society. The scene is discreet.
Cubans are the city's greatest asset. They are incredibly warm, welcoming, polite, and eager to share their culture.
The beauty of Havana is a unique combination of its decadent architecture, vibrant street life and iconic beachfront location.
An open-air architecture museum, with one of the most impressive and eclectic collections of colonial, baroque, neoclassical and Art Deco buildings in the world.
One of the cities with the most historical weight in America. From its role in the Spanish Empire to being the scene of a revolution that redefined world geopolitics.
The city focuses on its urban life and its seafront. There are some large parks, but they are not the main attraction.
Variable. The main squares of Old Havana are kept clean for tourists, but many other areas suffer from deteriorating infrastructure and accumulation of garbage.
Nonexistent in the traditional sense due to the economic and political system. 'Self-employment' is the form of entrepreneurship.
One of the worst destinations for digital nomads. Internet connectivity is extremely limited, slow and controlled.
