Famous Cities of the World: Havana

Havana is Cuba's most important industrial, importing, and distribution center. Manufacturing and processing activities, located primarily in outlying areas, include food processing and the making of cigars, beverages, textiles, shoes, chemicals, cement, fishing boats, and buses. Havana is famous for its promenades, drives and public gardens. On the North, along the sea, beginning at the Punta fortress and running.

Havana is known for appetizers, like their crispy crab cakes and grilled shrimp over lime rice. Havana is quite safe for a large city. Being a totalitarian police state, the first thing you will notice is that there are police on (almost literally) every corner. Havana is known as the party capital of the island so expect a mix of modern and old-school clubs and bars. Keeping in theme with the older Havana, you might want to try La Floridita - a place renowned for their daiquiris.

Havana is like Beirut, without having gone through the civil war to achieve the destruction. Havana is a city of color, light, music, dance, and art - a city in constant motion. Havana is also a city of contradictions: rich/poor, new/old, static/dynamic, loudness/quiet, and happiness/sorrow - it is the combination of all these qualities and contradictions that coalesce together making Havana otherworldly.

Havana is a beaming city with big problems, but also big hopes. Havana is home to what is perhaps the nation's greatest museum, the Museum of the Revolution. Blatantly tourist-oriented craft markets, restaurants, and events abound.
