Havana Trip: City Walk and Cultural Experience

The pre-booked Airbnb at the Old Square gave my Havana trip a warm start. The enthusiastic host not only arranged airport pickup but also provided currency exchange services, allowing me to start this journey with ease. Walking through the old town of Havana, I felt the charm of four unique squares. The Old Square has different vibes during the day and night, with vitality and tranquility coexisting. The church and rooftop bar at San Francisco Square let me appreciate the history and modernity of Cuba. Although Cathedral Square appears somewhat weathered, it bears witness to the passage of time. The Plaza de Armas is an oasis, offering a moment of peace in a busy journey. At Hemingway's Bodeguita del Medio, I savored a classic mojito and felt the passion of Cuban music. The vintage cars next to the Havana Theater took me through history and modernity, showcasing the city's unique charm. The grandeur of the Capitol, the aroma of cigars, and the beautiful view from the rooftop bar of the Kempinski Hotel are unforgettable memories of this trip. However, what touched me the most was the lifestyle of the Cuban people. Their resilience and optimism fill this city with vitality. Havana, a city full of contradictions and charm, made me find nostalgia and love here. This journey has become an unforgettable memory in my life.
