Your Destination —

Havana

Havana offers a vibrant mix of cultures, history and experiences. Its cobbled streets are alive with cafes, bars and the rhythmic sounds of the rumba. The city’s architecture is an eclectic mix of Baroque, Neo-Classical and Art Deco styles, with the colonial buildings of ‘Old Havana’ earning the city a UNESCO World Heritage Listing. 

Culturally, Havana is a melting pot of influences from Europe, Africa and the Americas. Its unique ambience and resilient character have lured writers, artists and even the occasional revolutionary in. 

With a wealth of exciting attractions, there is so much to do and see. Explore the museums and galleries of the old town, enjoy a cabaret show at the Tropicana, visit the colourful markets at Palacio de la Artesanía, sip a mojito at one of the atmospheric bars or a beer in the new Beer House beside the handicraft market in Old Havana. With tourism increasing in Cuba, now is the time to experience Havana, one of the world’s few unspoilt treasures.

Varadero

Also known as Playa Azul (Blue Beach) because of the stunning waters, Varadero offers pristine sandy beaches, amazing diving and a protected nature reserve (Varahicacos Ecological Reserve). The perfect place to spend the remainder of your holiday.
