Havana's Unmissable Icons
Havana’s historic core and coastline showcase a timeline from Spanish colonial rule to revolutionary milestones. This collection features the Baroque grandeur of the Havana Cathedral and the neoclassical National Capitol. Coastal defenses like El Morro and La Cabaña guard the harbor, while the 8-kilometer Malecón seawall serves as the city's social spine. Cultural landmarks include the Afro-Cuban murals of Callejón de Hammel, the legendary mojitos of La Bodeguita del Medio, and the preserved Granma yacht, offering a deep dive into Cuba’s political and artistic heritage.
