The exotic capital of Cuba and
largest city in the Caribbean is a
must-see for any visitor. For centuries,
it has served as the gateway to the Gulf
of Mexico. And in 1982, Old Havana, the
city's historic centre, was declared a
UNESCO World Heritage site. The city's
first building, overlooking the entrance
to a protected bay, dates back to 1519.
Today, Havana is the heart of the
nation's busy political, scientific and
cultural life. Museums, theatres and
concert halls, art galleries and
cultural institutions are popular
venues. The National Ballet of Cuba, the
House of the Americas, the Foundation of
New Latin American Film and the National
Folkloric Dance Group all have won
international acclaim. Both day and
night, Havana continues to thrill
visitors anew.
