When to go to Havana?
Salt spray comes over the Malecón wall at dusk and the whole seafront turns into a promenade. Behind it, Habana Vieja keeps its worn pastel façades, horse-drawn carts on the cobbles and old American cars idling in the sun. The Capitolio dome and the Museum of the Revolution anchor Havana's story; the rest is cigar smoke, rum and someone's trumpet two streets over.
The best time to go
Good news: the weather in Havana is pleasant all year round.
