Tour dates: November 12-20, 2019 (9 days)
Havana is one of the most dynamic and colorful capitals in the Americas. Famed for its music, rum, distinctive architecture and dynamic culture of visual and performing arts, Cuba’s liveliest city is both welcoming and mysterious, with hidden treasures around every corner. Built along a sheltered bay, Havana (originally “La villa de San Cristóbal de La Habana”) was founded by the Spanish on November 16, 1519 and will mark its 500th birthday in the Fall of 2019. The anniversary will ignite a flare of celebrations, including an arts Biennial along the Malecon (Havana’s seafront promenade) and ongoing festivities in the buildings and plazas of the city’s Historic Center.
