All Inclusive Vacations In Havana, Cuba

Havana is the capital city of Cuba, but also a major port and main business center. The metropolitan area has over 3 million inhabitants, making Havana the largest city in the entire Caribbean region. It is also a worldwide renowned tourist site due to the luxury accommodation amenities provided by high-class hotels and exclusive resorts, numerous holiday attractions and splendid tropical environment. Because of these characteristics, many tourists book all inclusive Caribbean vacations on this island.

Havana is located about 106 miles (170 kilometers) southwest to Key West, Florida, on the shores of the Strait of Florida, being surrounded by the province of Havana. The town was founded in 1515 and consequently it is one of the oldest cities established by Europeans in America. The original settlement was protected by fortifications because in the past it was often attacked by pirates. The remains of the walls and the historical center of Havana (called Old Havana) are protected by UNESCO.

All inclusive vacations in Havana have a specific charm, this city featuring many other interesting tourist sites such as: Castillo del Morro, a stunning fortress guarding the entrance to Havana Bay; La Cabana is a fortress located on the eastern side of Havana Bay; Malecon is a famous avenue along the northern shore of Havana; Great Theater of Havana is famous for the "National Ballet of Cuba"; Necropolis Cristobal Colon is a cemetery and open air museum; the Botanical Garden hosts many Caribbean plant species, particularly from Cuba; the National Aquarium is a unique vacation attraction, displaying samples of the island's marine flora and fauna; Christ of Havana is a statue of Christ blessing the city, located on the other side of the bay, very similar to the more famous "Cristo Redentor" from Rio de Janeiro.
