Havana - Cuba
Cuba’s capital city, Havana, is one of the worlds most exciting cities to visit. Well, at least that's what I think anyway. It’s uniqueness inspires the imagination, and it’s rich and colorful history fascinates. After more than half a century of relative isolation, Havana is fast becoming more accessible. The ways of life of the residents under the socialist revolution are still very much in evidence, and the culture of the Cubans that has intensified in isolation, insulated from the rest of the world, is for the moment largely preserved, while at the same time, for the first time in more than 50 years, services for visitors to Havana have reached levels of comfort that are acceptable for even travelers on the more fussy end of the spectrum. It’s an adventurous destination, seemingly on the verge of massive change. Havana, by far, is one of my most fascinating adventures.
