Havana has increasingly become known as a fashionable city where one can capture the beauty of Cuba and all that it has to offer. Other than a sojourn but an intellectual and visual experience. The discerning traveller sees more than a tropical island resort but how the country is famous for its cornucopia of fine arts, music, ballet, architecture and culture.

One can spends days marveling at Havana’s colonial past, it’s architectural master pieces, décor and antiquities. Many exhibits of Cuban art can be viewed at the Palace of Fine Arts in Havana which houses the largest collection from the 16th century up to the present.

The Ballet Nacional de Cuba is one of the most prestigious ballet companies worldwide and has an outstanding place in contemporary Spanish-American culture. The artistic-technical rigors of its dancers, scope and diverse aesthetic creations of Cuban choreographers, grant this ballet company an internationally relevant place among greatest institutions of this genre. Performances can be seen at the Teatro Nacional in Havana.

We must not forget the classic 50’s American cars which are art forms in there own right. Cuban’s take pride in caring for and displaying their Ford, Buick, Pontiac, Chrysler, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Edsel, Studebaker, Cadillac, DeSoto, Dodge and a multitude of Chevrolets in the streets of Havana.

Many travellers who come to Cuba for their first visit spend time enjoying the tourist sights, sounds and the pristine beaches. Something else captivates their interest and they see Cuba from another perspective. Knowing that there is more to experience it often happens that the same travellers return time after time and still discover new aspects of this magical isle.
