Havana Pocket, Lonely Planet (2nd ed. Dec. 23)

On first impressions, Havana can seem like a confusing jigsaw puzzle, but work out how to put the pieces together and a beautiful picture emerges. It’s too audacious, too contradictory, and, despite 60 years of withering neglect, too damn beautiful. How it does it is anyone’s guess. Maybe it’s the swashbuckling history, the survivalist spirit, or the indefatigable salsa energy that emanates most emphatically from the people. Arrive with an open mind and prepare for a long, slow seduction. Havana Top Sights Havana’s Best Walks Nightlife & Entertainment Food Explore Havana Guides And so much more!
