Featured Destination: Cuba
Why Dimpi Recommends It:
“Cuba is like stepping into another era,” Dimpi says. “Havana’s pastel-hued buildings, cobblestone lanes, and beautifully preserved vintage cars feel like a living time capsule. What makes it special is the rhythm the music that flows through the streets, the impromptu dancing, and the locals’ warmth that instantly makes you feel at home. Cuba isn’t just a destination; it’s a mood, a melody, an emotion.”
Top 3 Must-Do Experiences:
- Take a ride in a classic vintage car through the vibrant streets of Havana the city’s most iconic experience.
- Witness the cannon shot ceremony at La Cabaña, a fascinating ritual that’s been performed nightly since the 18th century.
- Visit a Cuban cigar and Havana rum factory to experience the meticulous artistry behind the island’s most famous exports.
Best Local Dish or Drink:
“Order a Daiquiri at El Floridita the birthplace of the cocktail and Ernest Hemingway’s favourite haunt,” Dimpi says. “It’s the perfect way to cool off after a day under the Cuban sun.”
One Thing Travellers Should Know:
Vegetarian options can be limited, so carrying some essentials or snacks is a good idea. “But honestly, the charm of Cuba more than makes up for it every meal, even the simplest one, comes with a side of music and laughter,” she adds.
Insider Tip:
“Don’t over-plan. Just wander,” Dimpi insists. “Walk through Havana without a map, stop for street music, talk to the locals. That’s when you’ll truly feel Cuba’s heartbeat.”
