1 Definitely take a drive around the city on the vintage Cadillacs, and put on Salsa music while at it. Choose a convertible, put your head back, and let your hair fly with the wind.

2 Have a daiquiri at the famous Floridita that was the famed author Ernest Hemingway’s most favourite watering hole.

3 Stay at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, a heritage property rich in history and beauty. Don’t miss the stunning peacock that dances around the portico bar n cafe, while you sip on their famous pina colada. Yum!

4 Visit one of the Partagas Cigar factories and watch how the best cigars in the world are made here… sniff around for a whiff of the famed Cubans!

5 Visit the Museo de la Revolucion and catch a glimpse of the lives of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.
