Havana is more than a city; it is a living time capsule. Classic cars glide past pastel-colored facades, their paint chipped yet proud. Music drifts from open windows — son, rumba, bolero — each note echoing centuries of cultural exchange. The city wears its history openly, from colonial plazas to weathered streets, but it never feels stagnant. Instead, Havana thrives in the tension between preservation and reinvention, a place where yesterday and today walk hand in hand, refusing to let either fade away.
