Old Havana, with its many gracious historical buildings spanning the centuries, was for me, the star of Cuba. I've only included a few of the highlights below to provide a flavour of this destination, which I will gladly visit again.

| Courtyard, complete with peacock, of the Palacios de los Capitanes Generales - former official residence of the governors of Havana, now a museum |
  |
The Cathedral of Havana Inside the Cathedral |
 |
| The booksellers at the Plaza de Armas reminded me of Paris |
 |
| Paseo del Prado - the wide leafy pedestrian boulevard that cuts through Old Havana |
 |
The art deco Bacardi building and its lobby  |
 |
| The famous Calle Obispo - lots of street life with no traffic |
 |
| Farmacia Taquechel Museum, an old house turned into a famous pharmacy in the 19th century |
 |
| Gorgeous restored building in the Plaza Vieja by day and by night |
 |
| Typical street in old Havana |
 |
| Not to miss Chocolate Musuem, not so much for the artifacts but for the smoothest cocoa ever! |
 |
| Building under restoration |

| Iglesia de San Francisco by the waterfront |

| Looks like this might be a coming out event in the church square |
 |
