“Havana is a rainbow bubble of 1950’s Latin America”
Go For
Havana oooh na na.
Days chilling on street corners and steamy nights dancing salsa fueled by rum and cokes - this city’s all about the buena onda (good vibes).
The guitar solos of Buena Vista Social Club will lead you down alleyways and back to the ‘casa particular’ where you’re staying.
These guys don’t do hotels so staying with locals is the done thing.
Need to Know Take sterling or euros and exchange when you get there - ATMs aren’t a thing
Do One Thing Rum, salsa and rainbow buildings in Centro Habana district

Top Picks Handpicked things to do, not included in the trip price…
Salsa at Casa de la Música
Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco, seis, siete… Clapping desperately trying to find the rhythm, you finally nail the beat and get shimmied onto the floor. All the big players in Havana’s salsa scene come to Casa Musica to let loose. Disclaimer - the lighting is low enough to hide in the shadows if you fancy a mojito break.

Details The lungs of Havana…
When the humidity hits hard locals ditch the city centre for a afternoon in the forest. Your guide book didn’t mention it? Yeah,‘El Bosque’ is bit of a secret. Nap under a 300 year old banyan tree after a floating in a boat down the Rio Almendares.

Details Street partay
Walls splattered with street art and sculptures made from bath tubs... Artist Salvador Gonzáles Escalona starting painting outside his flat in the 90s and the dreary alley burst into colour. Callejón de Hamel is a hub of Afro-Cubano culture from rumba sessions to community projects.

Details Dins at Doña Eutemia
“No... more...beans…” So, Cuba doesn’t have the best rep for its food but the grub at Doña Eutemia’s has been known to turn heads. It’s hard not to fall for owner Leticia’s charm and her lobster tail... Go early to schmooze the regulars and split a fried plantain and fruit to start.

Details Beers at El Morro
Caribbean sunsets are instagrammable AF. Luckily Cuba doesn’t do internet so you can enjoy the lilac hues without your mate pestering you to be in their story. Join fishermen down at El Morro fortress for a couple of beers before sundown.
