Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish, who named it San Cristóbal de la Habana. Over the centuries, the city has evolved into a unique blend of colonial, Art Deco, and modern architecture, with a rich cultural heritage. Havana's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its Afro-Cuban heritage, evident in its music, dance, and art. The city's National Capitol Building, a grandiose structure inspired by the US Capitol, dominates the skyline. Havana's historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of narrow streets, colonial buildings, and lively plazas.

Top-Attraktionen in Havana
💡 Go early (8-9am) before tour groups arrive. The adjacent Museo de Arte Colonial costs a couple of CUP but gives rooftop views of the plaza for free once you're inside.
💡 Start at the Hotel Nacional end, walk east towards Havana Vieja during late afternoon when the breeze picks up. Watch for crumbling seawall sections after storms.
💡 Take a bus or taxi from central Havana (about 15 mins). No security or fences around it; it's a regular neighbourhood park. Best visited late afternoon when it's cooler and the sun makes the bronze glow. The nearest cafe sells decent iced coffee.
💡 Skip the overpriced audio guide. Bring small CUP notes for the locked donation boxes in some rooms. The Granma Memorial outside (the yacht used in the 1956 landing) is free to view through the fence; you can see it from outside the museum grounds.
💡 Arrive by 8pm on Thursday or Friday to avoid huge queues. Pay in CUP at the door if you have it; the card machine sometimes fails. Check their Facebook page for schedule changes.
