Welcome to Havana, the most literate country in America! Here is where your adventure begins. Meet your friendly guide and driver who will take you to your accommodation in the city center.

HAVANA
HAPPY SAINT VALENTINE’S DAY! The book party will take place at its usual main headquarters in the cultural complex Morro Cabaña, one of the America’s oldest standing fortresses. Other spaces will be the sub–headquarters, Pabellón Cuba, and some squares of the Historical Center of Old Havana, an area that was declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site.
Fairground doors open at 10am, so after breakfast get ready to visit the main venue. Enjoy the site and meet people who share your love for books. At noon, your guide and driver will pick you up to take you to have lunch at a local private paladar.
After lunch, take your bottle of water in hand and walk along Obispo, a famous street where you will explore the urban fabric of Havana and may find several bookstores with hidden literary talent that you will not find almost anywhere.
Continue walking up to the Central Park and prepare to explore Modern Havana. Do it in style! The finest and most elegant American classic cars will take you on a panoramic tour of emblematic places in Havana like the Revolution Square. Drive around the outskirts of the lush Almendares Park, the Malecón, the seafront promenade, Vedado and Nuevo Vedado districts, and the Colon Cemetery. This unforgettable old car tour will take almost two hours and end at your accommodation’s door. Take some time to relax and be ready at 8:30PM, to enjoy a lovely dinner accompanied with live music to celebrate friendship and love.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 3. Saturday, February 15th, 2025
HAVANA
Rise and shine! Finish your succulent breakfast and get ready. On this day you will visit the National Library Jose Marti, named after our national hero. This institution is more than a century old. It is the repositary of the documentary, bibliographic, artistic, and sound heritage treasure of Cuba, as well as the most representative of universal culture. It offers researchers, students, teachers, and readers in general the possibility of interacting with Cuban cultural, scientist and artist creation to increase the contribution to national and universal culture. Enjoy time at the library and later on have lunch at a local private paladar.
In the afternoon visit the other venues. We highly recommend Pabellón Cuba as it offers a concert program of excellence during the bookfair. Return to accomodation at convenience. Your driver and guide will inform pick up time for dinner. After dinner return to accomodation for a nice rest.

Day 4. Sunday, February 16th, 2025
HAVANA
On your 4th day in Havana, after having breakfast, you will have free time to visit once again the main venue of the event and participate in colloquiums, tributes, panels, conferences, readings, awards, and book presentations included in the program of activities. You will be picked up by your driver and guide at a meeting point to visit the Callejon de Hamel and have a delicious creole traditional meal in the paladar of the project. Afterwards enjoy street art, much of it executed with recycled materials, and a hypnotic live rumba show. Around 4PM you may return to your accommodation to have a shower and take some rest.
After dinner, enjoy your night at leisure.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 5. Monday, February 17th, 2025
HAVANA
On your last day in Cuba, after breakfast, you will visit Finca Vigía, home and museum of 1954 Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway. During the time he lived there he wrote many of his most renowned works. Take a stroll around its garden to see its pet cemetery, his fishing boat and the pool where Ava Gardner bathed naked.
Lunch today has been excluded from the program cost, so you can decide where to enjoy it on your own and return to accommodation at convenience. Be ready at 8PM for dinner time with live music. Don’t be sad. This is not an ADIOS CUBA!, but an HASTA PRONTO!
