We got back earlier this week from a wonderful 10 day vacation to Cuba. We started in Havana with 3 days of exploring this remarkable city. We could have spent a month there and still not seen everything the city has to offer. Havana is beautiful, full of life, energy and chaos at all hours of the day. While not a relaxing place at all, it is unforgettable. I'd go back there in a heartbeat.
We stayed in the Hotel Plaza, a 100 year old building in the heart of Old Havana.

We walked the Malecon and hung on the sea wall several times.
We didn't stay at the Hotel National, but it is a world heritage site so we did visit it. All of Old Havana is a UNESCO world heritage site. The Hotel National is just outside of Old Havana, but has it's own designation.
We spent a whole day checking out the 3 fortresses that defended the city for hundreds of years.
The city is full of history and stunning architecture.
