While all of Cuba offers endless diverse experiences, make sure to carve out a pocket of time in Havana. Stay at casa particulares and get to know the Cuban people who are inviting you into their homes; eat at paladares and try Cuban cuisine and other offerings the city fare has; get lost down alleys with markets, street food, stores, and landmarks from names you'll certainly know, like Ernest Hemingway and Victor Hugo.
