Sumérgete en la rica historia y cultura de Havana a través de sus museos y monumentos.
Havana, Cuba's capital suspended in time, is a feast for the senses where colonial grandeur elegantly crumbles. It is a city defined by the rhythm of salsa escaping from the windows, the roar of classic American cars, the aroma of tobacco and rum, and the unwavering energy of its people. From the majesty of Old Havana to the melancholy of the Malecón, it is an experience that captivates and transforms.

An important contemporary art event that fills the city with installations and exhibitions.
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.

Be wary of cheap cigar offers on the street (they are often fake) and always check your bill in restaurants. Ask for a menu with prices to avoid surprises.
