Havana Attractions

 
The name Havana often elicits memories of Spanish conquistadors, revolutionary heroes, along with Ernest Hemingway. Settled for over 400 years this seaside Caribbean city is rich in history, architecture, and culture. Havana boasts wide avenues and ancient forts, along with spectacular churches devoted to religions unique to Cuba.

There is much to entertain visitors in Havana with over 50 museums, beautifully restored 18th and 19th Century buildings, wonderful public squares and history at every turn.

Spend a day, or two, or even a week to fully appreciate all that Havana has to offer.
