Havana, Cuba: Get lost in time

There is nowhere else in the world like Havana, Cuba. Most people imagine its ruined colonial houses, Cuban cigars, mojitos, salsa dancing, and classic cars, but until you see Havana in the flesh, you do not realize how greatly defined by its history the city is. Every nook and cranny is an artifact waiting to be discovered, and the happy and friendly unofficial “guides” of the city are eager to show you every single attraction. With access to all of the best classic cars, cigars, and mojitos, you will be promised each of these, or all of these at once, by almost every Cuban you meet on the street. For a short break in the city, you cannot miss these top five things to do in Havana, Cuba:

Take a classic car ride

It may seem like one of the most cliché things to do in Havana, and perhaps it is, but taking a classic car ride is an experience you will never get anywhere else at this price and in this historic setting.

• Costing around $25 for an hour around the city, you can pick up rides through registered salesmen on the streets (they will approach you) or by heading to one of the classic car taxi ranks located close to the port.
• Cars are usually kept in fantastic condition, and many locals make their living offering rides around the city.
• You can even finish your trip with a ride to the airport, although not all drivers are licensed to do this.

Some of the older cars will be more expensive and can sometimes cost up to $50 for an hour, depending on the year, make, and model.

Havana Club Museum

Cuba wouldn't be Cuba without rum, and Havana Club is one of the city's most famous brands. Located close to the port, the Havana Club museum offers tours in various languages, all of which can be booked on the day or a few days in advance for $7.
