Ciudad de La Habana

Havana is the largest city in the Caribbean and the center of all Cuban things. Despite its turbulent history, Havana suffered little damage in the country's wars and revolutions, and stands today much as it was built hundred years ago or more. There's an air of faded glory about the city as big 50s and 60s American automobiles still dominate the streets and paint and plaster peel off everywhere.
The city is peppered with glorious Spanish colonial architecture, much of which is under restoration.

Havana has a swinging nightlife, with cinemas, historic theatres, cabarets, nightclubs and music venues that will exhaust even the most hardened campaigner. There's less traffic and less commercialization than choke your average Latin American city.
But from the rough brilliance of Old Havana to residential areas ranging from shabby to demanding demolition, the exuberant friendliness of Havana's inhabitants is what shines through.
