Classic cars, faded grandeur and son music
Havana is unlike any other city in the Caribbean. Old Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a grid of colonial plazas, baroque churches and restored mansions, including the Plaza de la Catedral and Plaza Vieja. Classic 1950s American cars serve as taxis, the Malecón sea wall fills with people at sunset, and the Capitolio's dome rises over Centro Habana. Live son and salsa play in bars and courtyards, Hemingway's haunts include El Floridita and his house at Finca Vigía, and the Fábrica de Arte Cubano is a buzzing arts venue.
