Hey, this is your host, Naomi. I would like to show you the top 10 attractions of Havana, Cuba.

Number 10: Old Havana, among the most unique places you'll visit. Time seems to stand still there. Enjoy the great architecture, art and music.

Number 9: Transportation. Havana is teeming with fascinating modes of transportation, including public taxis and vintage cars that lend to a colorful atmosphere.

Number 8: El Capitolio, Cuba's national capital building. The exterior has a resemblance to the U. S. Capitol. It was built in 1929 to house the seat of government.

Number 7: Music. Cuban music is famous the world over. With its diverse styles that include European and African influences, music is one of Cuba's highlights.

Number 6: El Morro, a 16th century fortress in the Bay of Havana, built to protect Spain's military from pirate attacks. There's even a history museum inside.

Number 4: San Cristobal Cathedral, a historic cathedral's baroque facade has asymmetrical towers.

Number 3: Revolution Square, a massive city square, and close to the President's offices. It's the site for the political rallies and other major events.

Number 2: The Castle of the Royal Force, the oldest fort in all the Americas. And as a part of Old Havana, is the UNESCO world heritage site.

Great video style but you are missing 2 must see sites: 1- Varadero Beach - the mist beautiful beach of the caribean, where I personally spent my childhood and tourists rave about and 2- for those that find cemetaries interesting esthetically - El Sementerio de Cristobal Colon - Christopher Colombus' Cementary. There are amazing sculptures and graves. You can see this cementary via Google Earth or Bing. Thanks for the little tour. I hope to one day go back.
