Heidi Hollinger discovered Havana in 1988 and has visited often for more than 30 years, which means she knows the city inside out In this new edition of 300 Reasons to Love Havana, she lists some 50 new reasons to love the city and updates several dozen photos more colorful than ever Like her, you'll be dazzled and will have to pinch yourself to believe that no matter which way you look, this cityscape is actually real Heidi will introduce you to incredible e-bike routes to take, yoga sessions on the shore, succulent sushi enjoyed on the riverbank, a mosaic of amazing villages, lush and relaxing parks, and the best boutique hotels. With her eagle eye, she has captured the exceptional beauty of the Spanish baroque and colonial architecture that bears witness to 400 years of history, Cuban music with its catchy rhythm, the country's new gastronomy, the rooftop patios, the excitement of a drive in an almendron, the best addresses, and the most beautiful spots to visit. You'll walk and dance in the streets of Havana before you even set foot there, thanks to the magnificent photos shot by the author, an internationally renowned photographer.
Her recs are spot-on. If you are a US Citizen, read her descriptions to find out which places are "state-owned" which you are not supposed to visit.
I wouldn't go anywhere that is not on her list, really! A must buy.
