Havana

Havana (Habana), the capital of Cuba, is located on the island’s northwestern coast along the Gulf of Mexico. Positioned at approximately 23°N latitude, it enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round. The city is built around a natural harbor, which has historically made it a key maritime hub in the Caribbean. The coastline features a mix of sandy beaches and rugged limestone formations, while the Malecón, a famous seawall and roadway, stretches along the waterfront, offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, Havana is relatively flat, with low-lying hills surrounding the urban landscape. Find out more in our Havana travel guide!
