Introduction
Experience Cuba’s vivacious capital by dipping your toes into both its rich history and vibrant culture. In this three-day itinerary, we will guide you on an exploration that spans from classic Havana's crumbling Spanish architecture, to the effervescent rhythms of its Salsa clubs, to the aromas of its world-renowned cigars. Basically, we're going to cover all remarkable things that Havana has to offer!
Day 1 - Unmasking the Magic of Old Havana
Kickstart your Cuban escapade in Old Havana. No, this is not the Havana from Camila Cabello's song. Although, who's to say you won't find a slice of that same magic here? Step back in time and meander along the colorful, cobblestone streets. Visit the Capitol Building, which is a spitting image of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., except with an idiosyncratic Cuban twist. Don't miss the Grand Theatre and its supercalifragilisticexpialidocious architecture. Wrap up your day by embracing Cuba's legacy at the Museum of the Revolution. Finally, relish Havana’s nightlife at one of the salsa clubs. You thought your two left feet won't let you dance? Well, let the rhythm of the live bands convince you otherwise!
Day 2 - Diverse Delights
Wave goodbye to the hustles and bustles of the city as Day 2 lures you towards the coastal borough of Playa. Stroll within the lush greenery of the Metropolitan Park. It's easy to lose track of time amidst the twittering of birds and the rustling of leaves, like something out of a Disney movie. However, make sure you leave some time for Fusterlandia, an outlandish artistic neighborhood that is a heady mix of Gaudi's Barcelona and Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. In the evening, bask in the golden glow of the sunset at the Miramar district while sipping on some classic Mojito.
Day 3 - Cuban Vibrance
Start the final day of your journey with an adrenaline kick. Take a classic car ride along the Malecon, Havana's 8-kilometer-long seaside drive. It might sound cliched, but hey, when in Rome...right? Post that, get ready to tantalize your taste buds with authentic Cuban cuisine in one of the local Paladars. Ever had a foodgasm? Well, prepare to have one today! Finally, cherish Cuba's legacy to the world with a visit to the Partagas Cigar Factory. Even if you're not a smoker, exploring the tradition and craftsmanship involved in cigar-making is like stepping into a living museum. End your night (and your trip) by gazing at the glittering city landscape from the La Guarida’s rooftop bar.
