Then indulge in a cocktail at El Floridita or Sloppy Joe’s, the old haunts of Ernest Hemingway or savor a mojito with a view from the roof top of the Saratoga Hotel. What makes Cuba different from most other places in the world is the absence of advertising, that constant tease we Westerns take for granted. Havana is uniquely rich in history as all shipments from the new world had to travel through Havana to Sevilla in Spain. Cuba is a world superpower of music and Havana an architectural treasure trove without equal. No American city can match its variety of styles ranging from the Plateresque to Cuban Baroque, Neoclassical to Art Nouveau, Deco to Mid-Century Modern and Soviet Brutalism. Cuba conjured a music so powerful it went around the world three times in the 20th Century alone. Classical composers such as Samuel and Cervantes invented Danzas and Contradanzas that with syncopation laid the foundation for “Danzon, Rumba, Ragtime, Salsa and Latin Jazz.” Live music can be heard and danced to impromptu on almost every corner. We recommend you visit the spectacular reinvention of Fábrica de Arte Cubano in Vedado to experience the creative Cuban juices first hand. StreetSmart Havana is updated yearly and most current. Simplicity reigns supreme in information design to make complex cities clear and understandable. This is the smartest and easiest to use map of Havana. Remember web access in Cuba is limited to hotels, excruciatingly slow and up-to-date information simply unavailable. So, let StreetSmart Havana be your key to understanding the new world's oldest city. This sexy laminated city map package refolds easily to 4 x 9 inches (24 x 9 inches open) and snuggly fits into your pocket. Buy this map to become an instant StreetSmart Habanero. Read more

Although ITMB has published a map of Havana several times, this version is unique in that, for the first time, we include a map of central Cuba (i.e. the hinterland surrounding Havana). For this reason, our cover picture shows a farmer s wagon selling privately-grown vegetables rather than a scene from Havana itself. Havana, at the time of our most recent visit, showed few signs of improvements, but an increased number of tourists. Since our visit a year ago, tourism has increased by 300%, and most of this traffic trying to visit Havana. This is forcing change and I hope some of it trickles down to benefit ordinary Cubans. The city side covers a large part of the city, not just the old town as others cover. The regional side covers from San Cristobal in the west to Sancti Spiritus in the east. Insets of Varadero, Cienfuegos, and Trinidad are included. The map is printed on waterproof paper, both for durability and because Cuba is subject to sudden storms and this map can double as an umbrella. Unfoled size: 27x39 inches Read more

"Not a guide book but a guide to delightful sights and sounds, cocktails and cockfights, scenery and senoritas in the tropical luxuriance of Cuba."Step back in time to the vibrant and seductive Havana of 1928 with Basil Woon's "When It’s Cocktail Time in Cuba." This hidden gem, privately published by Horace Liveright, unveils the electrifying allure that drew thousands of Americans to revel in the exotic charm of Cuba. Indeed: Woon clearly understood America’s desire for alcohol during Prohibition, detailling cocktail recipes alongside lists of Cuba’s best bartenders - all while painting a hedonistic picture of the island nation.Amidst the tropical beauty, Woon intricately details the daily spectacle at the rooftop bar of the Sevilla-Biltmore Hotel, where the maestros Eddie Woelhke and Fred Kaufman orchestrated not only the blending of classic Cuban cocktails but also the creation of their own signature concoctions. Immerse yourself in the rhythmic beats of Havana's nightlife and the artistry of mixology in this captivating journey through the golden age of Cuban indulgence. Cheers to an era where every sip told a story, and the spirit of revelry echoed through the sultry nights of Havana.Basil Moon, a rising literary talent, joins the ranks of distinguished writers who have eloquently captured the essence of Cuba and the Caribbean islands. Much like the iconic Hemingway and the adventurous Hunter S. Thompson, Moon weaves a narrative tapestry that intricately explores the unique cultural tapestry of these enchanting locales. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant landscapes and rich histories, Moon's work stands as a compelling addition to the literary legacy of the region. While Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" encapsulates the timeless struggle between man and nature, and Thompson's "The Rum Diary" delves into the intoxicating allure of the Caribbean, Moon's writing promises a fresh perspective and a unique voice, making him a promising contender among the luminaries of Caribbean literature.Chapters include:Have One In Havana The Begins At The SevillaWhere Everyone Is Drinking And Not A Soul Is Drunk!

Discover the colourful soul of Havana with renowned photographer Heidi Hollinger!Heidi Hollinger first travelled to Havana in 1988 and has been returning often for almost 30 years.

Like Heidi, you’ll be dazzled by Havana—the city’s endless visual feast will blow you away. She’ll introduce you to the peanut vendor who calls out “Mani” (peanuts) and offers his wares in a white paper cone; to Cuban women draped in colours and standing in doorways; and to barefoot children playing soccer in public squares. Heidi’s expert eye captures the extraordinary beauty of the Baroque and Spanish Colonial architecture, which bears witness to 400 years of history, the vibrancy of Cuba’s music, the country’s new cuisine, the rooftop terraces, the thrill of getting around by almendrón (vintage cars), the top shops and restaurants and the loveliest areas to visit. The stunning photos by the internationally known photographer will have you walking and dancing in the streets of Havana before you’ve even booked a ticket. Read more
