Last week Cuba welcomed the arrival of the King and Queen of Spain, who flew to Havana for an official 3-day state visit that also included a stop in Santiago de Cuba. The royal visit coincided with the occasion of Havana’s 500th anniversary so the timing couldn’t have been more ideal or emblematic.
Experiencing Havana like a future king or queen is not only possible, but totally doable. As this post illustrates, there are many ways to follow in the footsteps of royals like Prince Charles and Camilla when they toured Havana in March 2019. From enjoying a guided walk in Old Havana to sampling local cuisine and soaking in the city’s cultural highlights, this is a guide to touring the Cuban capital like a royal.
What could be more glorious than a luxury break in Havana combined with a beach holiday extension in a secluded offshore island? The Kempinski brand in Havana and Cayo Guillermo offers the perfect combination for those who seek city chic and style combined with sophisticated beachfront beauty.
Cuba is rapidly opening up to Western tourism, and the island’s capital Havana is home to some of the Caribbean’s most elegant hotels which provide top-end luxury tourism. Tourists in Old Havana now have the option of combining five-star comfort with centuries of rich history on their doorstep, something unique to Cuba.
