Havana is a historic city with a fantastic climate
Havana is the main city of Cuba, and has around 2 million people living there. It was founded in the 16th Century as the Americas were being discovered by European powers, and has been an important port in the region ever since. There are three main parts to the city: Old Havana, which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and well worth a walk around for the visitor, Verdado, which is more modern, and some newer suburbs. A revolution in 1959 brought the region under communist control, which has defined the city ever since. It was only in the 1990s that the country began to open up to tourism once more, after the collapse of the Soviet Union meant that the country needed new revenue streams.
