Places & Attractions

City Tour by Vintage Car

The only way to experience the magic of Havana is from the seat of a classic American car. See the sights, get the vibe and listen to the rumble of some vintage US muscle. An experience you cannot get anywhere else.

Cigar & Rum Factory Tour

This is your chance to discover two of Cuba’s most iconic products. Even if you have no interest in the product itself, a tour of a cigar factory is a must: you’ll see workers rolling tobacco by hand and hear the lector (reader) employed to keep the workers entertained in a tradition dating back to the 19th Century. You’ll also discover if cigars are rolled on the thighs of dusky maidens is just an urban myth.

Continue to a rum factory to see how another celebrated Cuban export is produced and to sample different varieties in the tasting room. Both visits offer the chance to buy souvenirs – a great way to bring the essence of Cuba back home with you.

Club Tropicana Cabaret Show

Stunning does not really do justice to this most spectacular of the cabarets under an open sky. A unique place in the world to enjoy the music and the Cuban and Caribbean folklore in all their colour, musicality and rhythm. An art extravaganza to multiply the Cuban happiness of a true tropical night and an absolute must on any visit to Havana.

Its greens, surrounded by bunkers, are an uncompromising examination for experts.

Havana

Havana is Cuba’s capital city, largest port and main commercial centre. Spanish colonial architecture in its 16th-century Old Havana includes the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, a fort and maritime museum. The National Capitol Building is an iconic 1920s landmark. Also in Old Havana is the baroque Catedral de San Cristóbal and Plaza Vieja, whose buildings reflect the city’s vibrant architectural mix.

And yet with all of this going on you can still find a place to relax, either in the National Botanical Gardens with over 4000 native plants species or on the Playas del Este, a coastline of nine tropical white sand beaches and turquoise waters only 20 minutes from the city.

For culture vultures a visit to the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is a must or you could take in a performance at the Gran Teatro de La Habana, headquarters of the National Ballet of Cuba, the National Lyric Theater and the Spanish Ballet of Cuba.
