Havana is a city of vivid contrasts, from the exquisite but faded Spanish architecture, narrow cobbled streets and leafy squares, to the dramatic Revolution Square and famous mural of Che Guevara. A vibrant, modern and cosmopolitan city, where past and present mingle, Old Havana has been declared part of the heritage of mankind by UNESCO. One of the most fascinating cities in the world, Havana is the second largest city in the Caribbean, and with smiling faces greeting you at every turn, a few days stay to absorb the unique atmosphere of this city is highly recommended.
