We arrive in Havana, the capital of Cuba, at 07:45 in the morning. After being greeted at the airport, we will start our tour with our guide.
*HAVANA CITY TOUR WITH LUNCH*
We will conduct a Havana City Tour to introduce Havana, which has an impressive history and has come out of the world wars with very little damage, preserving its original state and showcasing the striking examples of Spanish architecture, where 50s and 60s American cars can often be seen. Havana, named after San Cristobal de la Habana, was founded by the Spaniards. Our city tour starts from modern Havana, passing through the mixed Art Deco and modern architecture of the Vedado Region, and proceeding towards the world-famous Revolution Square... Just 15 minutes from modern Havana, time seems to have stood still as we encounter colonial-style squares and buildings. We will visit the famous Capitol building and continue to the historic center. We will walk through the old streets by visiting Plaza de Armas, Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza Vieja, and Plaza de San Francisco, waving to the elderly people with cigars watching us from the broken balconies. You can take plenty of photos. Your most valuable photos will be in black and white, feeling like you have traveled back in time. La Bodeguita del Medio and Floridita Bar will remind you of the famous Ernest Hemingway. Bolero, Chacha, and Maraca rhythms will arise within us. The old town of the capital, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, can easily be described as a music paradise. It is possible for a tourist to encounter live music groups in nearly every café, street, bar, hotel, and restaurant in Havana. So much so that people sometimes find it astonishing to see the number of quality Latin groups they have the chance to hear compared to their own country, and then understand better that music is one of the essentials of life for a Cuban. Lunch will be taken during our tour. At the end of our tour, we will return to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel.
