Welcome to Havana

La Habana, Cuba's incredible capital city, is a place that pulses with history and vitality. It was founded way back in 1514 and quickly became an important commercial centre thanks to its perfect location on the North Atlantic coast. Its bay saw countless pirate and corsair attacks during the early 16th century, making it a fascinating place to explore. 

Today, La Habana is the largest city in the country, with a population of 2 137 847 inhabitants in 2022, making it a vibrant and lively place to be! As the official seat of the highest organs of the Cuban state and government, the city is also home to branches and headquarters of foreign entities. In addition, its colonial architecture, iconic classic cars and vibrant cultural life make it an unmissable tourist attraction. Strolling by the sea, photographing colourful buildings, immersing yourself in the history of the Revolution and soaking up the rhythms of salsa are just some of the unforgettable experiences La Habana has to offer!
