The changing times of Cuba's Havana must be seen and experienced, however, the passionate locals keep the 500-year old city alive with traditional salsa music drifting down cobbled streets and sultry bars serving the famous Cuban rum and cigars. If visiting at the end of February enjoy the lively atmosphere of the five-day Cuban cigar festival.
The classic appearance of vintage American cars driving along the bustling streets of Havana and Spanish colonial architecture can be seen best in the 6th century Old Havana town, especially the colour bell tower of the Bacardi Building. Savour the flavours of Cuban cuisine and sip a mojito at Hemmingway's favourite bar, La Bodequita del Medi. Visit Sloppy Joe's, a historic bar boasting regular film legend clients like John Wayne and Clark Cable.
