Old Havana is the historic heart of Cuba's capital city, filled with colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, and grand old squares. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where classic cars from the 1950s still cruise past centuries-old churches and forts.
People love Old Havana for its music, dancing, and the friendly buzz of life on every corner. The bright vintage cars, sea-front Malecon walkway, and lively plazas make it feel like stepping into a living storybook.
Old Havana was founded by Spanish settlers over 500 years ago and grew into one of the busiest ports in the Americas. Its stone forts once guarded the city from pirates who sailed the Caribbean Sea.
Colorful cars from the 1950s, painted pink, blue, and yellow, still drive through the streets every day. Many families have kept these shiny old cars running for generations.
You can hear salsa, son, and rumba music drifting out of doorways and plazas all through the day. Street bands with guitars, drums, and trumpets invite everyone to clap and dance along.
