Havana, which was first known as San Cristóbal de la Habana in 1519, has drawn tourists to explore its vintage vehicles, exciting nightlife, and historic city centres.
On Cuba's northern shore, near the Florida Keys and the Straits of Florida, where the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean converge, is Havana. The bay, which is reached through a small inlet and divides into three main harbours named Marimelena, Guanabacoa, and Atarés, is where the city largely extends westward and southward. A few kilometres west of the sea, the Almendares River flows through the city from south to north before entering the Straits of Florida.
Climate
Havana's climate is tropical savanna, which shares borders with tropical monsoon and rainforest climates. From 22 °C in January and February to 28 °C in August, the average temperature ranges. Rarely does the temperature fall below 10 °C.
Averaging 1,200 mm per year, rainfall is most abundant in June and October and least abundant from December through April. The south coast of the island is typically where hurricanes land, causing less damage in Havana than elsewhere in the nation.
The Malecón
The 8-kilometer-long Malecón (Avenida de Maceo) is an esplanade and seawall that runs along Havana's sun-drenched coastline. It's a well-liked location for a stroll in the late afternoon as the sun sets over the ageing golden structures that front the water.
A vintage vehicle excursion is among the greatest ways to see the Malecón. You'll also hear the cannon fire from Cabaa Fortress every night at nine o'clock, which used to signal the closing of the city gates but is now only done out of habit.
