Havana is the largest city in the Caribbean and the heart and soul of Cuba. Lovingly restored colonial buildings, brilliantly coloured old Chevys, over-the-top cabaret shows and the irresistible rhythms of merengue are the essence of Cuba's capital.
Wander around the colonial streets of La Habana Vieja or hang out with the locals at a baseball game, the Cuban national obsession. Explore the Calle Tacon street market, people watch along the Malecon or tour a cigar factory. Have a sunset mojito at the Hotel Nacional, catch the famous show at the Tropicana and then join in and dance the night away.
La Habana Vieja has small, atmospheric hotels while the upscale Miramar neighbourhood has large traditional resorts. Both areas are close to most attractions so let a hotel's style rather than its location be the deciding factor.
With non-stop service directly to Havana you can build your own vacation package by booking a flight with hotel. Or get a package that combines Havana and nearby Varadero for both a city and sun holiday.
