Welcome to Cuba —
Combining Havana and Varadero is the ideal option for any first visit to Cuba. You'll be transported by the colonial charm of Habana Vieja where time seems to have stood still since the '50s, with gleaming vintage American cars and colourful alleyways that seem to come alive to the sound of jazz notes. Listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1982, the city of Ernest Hemingway's heart immerses you in its history dating back 500 years with its many museums, squares and churches, its sublime promenade along the Malecon seafront that lights up at sunset, and many other gems to discover.
Extend your 'change of scenery' with a more tropical interlude, chilling out on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Just two hours and 30 minutes' drive time separates Havana from Varadero, with almost 15 miles of blissful beach, facing the Straits of Florida. Kick back and relish a whole range of maritime activities, exciting excursions and a city centre with a sparkling nightlife.
