A sensational city where the rhythm of music and the lure of its history hangs at every corner, is the largest and most intriguing city in all of the Caribbean, and also Cuba’s capital. A city known for its passion, history, love of music and exotic repertoire of dance - no place captures the essence of Cuba better than its vibrant, buzzing capital. The city boasts some of the best ballet and dance schools/companies in the world, and has a theatre community, in the Caribbean, that is truly second to none. Historically, Cuba is embedded in a rich colonial past, with remnants evident in every corner of the city and a UNESCO World Heritage site with over 900 landmarks in the neighbourhood of Vieja Habana

Spend your days roaming the hauntingly beautiful nostalgic streets of Old Havana (Havana Vieja) gazing at neo-classical architecture, exquisite statues and stunning old colonial buildings, before toasting the hospitality of this city’s incredibly vivacious people with a classic mojito at one of themany places once frequented by Ernest Hemingway.
