TIME TO GET
AMAZED
Region:
Cuba
Diplomatic
relations between the USA and Cuba are at an
all
time high and it is likely that more and more tourists
visiting
America will include Cuba in their itinerary over
the
coming years. Here are four must-visit places in Cuba:
The
Malecón in Havana is the place to be from sunset to
sunrise.
The Malecón is a broad esplanade, roadway and
seawall
which stretches for 8 km along the coast in Havana.
At
night, musicians, gallivanting teenagers, lovers, and
street
vendors take to the Malecón for a chill hang or to
drink
rum and party to a mashup of breaking waves and
eclectic
beats.
Founded
in 1728, University of Havana is an architectural
marvel.
In the 1950s, the university, which is the Castro
brothers'
alma mater, was the site of major anti-government
protests.
It remains a site of political and social organisation
and
the city's nexus of contemporary youth culture today .
From
art galleries to a beer museum, Havana's `Old Plaza'
also
known as Plaza Vieja has tons of culture going on.
The
outdoor cafes are a great place to spend an afternoon.
Tourists
usually sip from three-foot-high beer towers here.
El
Morro is a fortress guarding the entrance to Havana bay.
This
16th-century fortress was also used as a prison for
many
years -now serves as an excellent vantage point
you
can catch beautiful Atlantic sunsets.
Every
night at 9 pm, a ceremonial canon is fired from
the
fortress walls.
