Stroll along the Malecón seawall at sunset, explore the cobblestone streets of Old Havana (Habana Vieja), a UNESCO World Heritage site, and savor authentic Cuban cuisine in a paladar. The city pulses with music, from salsa clubs to street musicians, and offers a unique blend of history and resilience. Visitors can tour the Capitolio, visit the Museum of the Revolution, or relax on nearby beaches like Santa María del Mar.
