Why you'll love it
Havana is Cuba's capital, known for colonial squares, classic cars, live music and the long seafront Malecón. It gets Triptakeo's top score for culture and 9 out of 10 for romance, making it one of the most atmospheric city breaks in the Caribbean.
The best time to visit Havana is November to April, the dry season, with warm, sunny days and lower humidity. Summer is hot and humid, and hurricane season peaks around September and October.
Old Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is best explored on foot, from Plaza Vieja to Plaza de la Catedral. Spend an evening walking the Malecón, ride in a vintage convertible, and look for live son and salsa in the bars. Viñales, with its tobacco farms and limestone hills, makes a memorable day trip. Bring cash and expect patchy internet.
Havana suits couples, culture lovers and music fans.
