This program is based in ‘Habana Vieja’ – in the heart of the historic old Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

At street level there is a constant buzz with musicians plying their trade in the many fantastic bars to be found in this popular neighbourhood. The area is VERY safe, and you will quickly feel comfortably at home. There are lots of interesting shops and quirky art galleries here and most of Cuba’s cultural heritage including national museums also.
