For some visitors, HAVANA wakes up every morning as if frozen in time. Citizens, Cubans and tourists, stop spellbound while walking along the extensive seafront road and it becomes impossible not to pause on this wall that has become a kind of public living room, serving as a pretext to contemplate Havana, which celebrates its 500th anniversary this year.

And while for some a number is just a number, we must attribute to this middle-aged lady the gift of never aging, having been formally named “wonder city of the modern world.” A title elected by thousands of people in the third annual “new 7 wonders of the world” contest for being “mythical and attractive, for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, for being vintage and modern at the same time and for the charisma and joviality of its inhabitants.”
The award stated that “with the recognition of this city as one of the seven wonder cities of the modern world, it has become part of global memory as one of the seven places that everyone on the planet can visit and will remember.”

Visitors sit on the seafront wall, emblem of Havana, to breathe in the smell of sea salt that surrounds the dance of fishing boats or the cruises docking in the bay. To see and feel the taste of happiness of thousands of lovers who sit on the wall reaffirming their love embodied in kisses, caresses or selfies on a promenade that once served for the defense and protection of its people, today serves as a witness of love for a city unique in the world.

This year another important award was given to Cuba: VARADERO won the Tripadvisor world contest as the second most beautiful beach in the world. One more reason to visit and celebrate Cuba by organizing a trip that takes you to spend a few nights in Havana and then relax on the longest beach in Cuba with its white sand and hotels for all tastes!
