Cuba is the destination of the future, and a trip to Cuba and Havana will enrich you on many different fronts, and we promise you a vacation and experience you will never forget.
The waves hit the El Morro fortress, which forms a gateway to the port, and at Jose Marti Park, you can hear the locals discuss yesterday’s baseball game. Hotel National offer the perfect location where you can sit back and enjoy a Cuba Libre overlooking the capital of Havana. The city exudes an energy unlike any other, and it stems from the lively people who inhabit the colourful and worn façades. Imagine a street corner where home-made pizza is baking, and while you wait, you can enjoy fresh guava juice. Further down the street, there is a queue for a grocery store, where locals are shopping for their food for the coming month. Havana offers cultural experiences behind every corner, and a people who laugh, dance and enjoy life.
In Vedado, the new part of Havana, you will find the city’s tallest building: Hotel Habana Libre. The 23rd floor of the hotel was home to the victors of the revolution when they took the city, and it is also in Vedado where Revolutionary Plaza lies. This is where the José Martí Memorial is located, standing 109 meters tall, and in front of which, Fidel Castro held many of his long characteristic speaches. Across the plaza is the offices of the Ministries of the Interior and Communications, whose façades feature two steel memorials of the most important deceased heroes of the Cuban Revolution: Che Guevara, with the quotation “Hasta la Victoria Siempre” and Camilo Cienfuegos with the quotation “Vas bien, Fidel.” Along the Vedados main street Calle 23, La Rampa, there are crowded cars, coaches and bicycle taxis. If you continue downhill, the road leads to the sea and Malecón Avenue.
Habana Vieja, or old Havana, is a unique district that stands out from the rest of the city. It is a residential neighborhood with cobbled streets, and almost no cars in sight. This is because it is under protection by UNESCO, to help restore and protect the area. Old Havana is characterized by its ancient squares which break up the narrow streets. There is Plaza Vieja, the most well preserved with its colorful faades, Plaza de Armas with its bustling market, Plaza de San Franciscos which is in close proximity to the sea, and the mighty cathedral at Plaza de la Catedral. Along the main street of Obispo, the shops are close, and if you choose to come to Habana Vieja on a Sunday, you will meet dance, colors and music in the form of shows and artists on stilts.
“My mojito in the Bodeguita del Medio and my daiquiri in the Floridita” – Ernest Hemingway.
The famous author has become a symbol of Havana, since he lived 20 years of his life in Cuba. Along the old Havana main street, Obispo, lies Hotel Ambos Mundos, where he spent his first years in the country. Room 511 was perfect to write in as you had a view of Habana Vieja and the sea, and you can still visit it today. When Ernest had spent an entire day writing, he often finished it at one of his favorite bars, La Floritida, which was his favorite place when it came to frozen daquiries, and La Bodeguita del Medio, when he was thirsty for a mojito. After a few years in old Havana, Ernest bought a house outside the city where he wrote many of his books.
