Where to Stay: I personally suggest if you want to feel what living in Havana, Cuba is like, then stay at a top rated Airbnb. There are many to chose from and every bed & breakfast is different in what they provide but what is the same is the natural experience of blending in with the Cuban people and their unique way of life. Now if you have done this already and just want to unwind and relax then Hotel Nacional de Cuba & Meliá Cohiba is the right place. Almost forgot to mention Hotel Saratoga which is a famous 5 star hotel where celebrities usually stay and is situated right in between Havana and old Havana Prices start around $280 a night.

Must Visit: Plaza de la Revolución, notable as being where many political rallies take place and Fidel Castro and other political figures address Cubans. The Museum of the Revolution is housed in what was the Presidential Palace of all Cuban presidents from Mario García Menocal to Fulgencio Batista. Also if you are challenging and want to see Havana like the Cuban people, walk the Malecón, Havana. Beautiful way to see the fort, light house, old colorful buildings and older stylish cars.

Where to Eat: Mundo Pizza, best place to get Pizza and a Mojito in Havana. For great live music and food to match La Vitrola is the place (Try their pork chops with rice).
