Crumbling, barren, exotic and alive; Havana is a living microcosm of the country at large.
There is nowhere in the world like Havana. From the dazzling Spanish colonial architecture of the Old Town, to the spectacular dilapidation of Havana Centro, a city of sturdy survivors and great musicians rock indefatigably to the syncopated beat of the rumba.
Deprived of the consumer-driven trappings of other less colorful metropolises, Havana remains characterful, safe, and packed with a plethora of interesting museums. For history buffs there's the living breathing essence of UNESCO-sponsored Havana Vieja; for beach bums there's the sun-splashed tranquility of Playas del Este.
