What our students said about Havana

It's a busy and interesting city with a lot of history and culture. It's a shame that some tourists feel harassed by locals who want to get their attention not always for good purposes. You have to be wary of scammers. It does feel safe overall though compared to other big cities in the world.

5.0Lynne England UK

Great city, very interesting. I would like to explore Vedado, the more recent campus. Too bad we couldn't swim somewhere close.

4.0Manon Canada

5.0Leonie Sibylle Australia

The team was young and dynamic. There was always someone there, in case if problems, or just to talk. My Spanish teacher had just the right mix of fun and seriousness to motivate the entire group to peak performance. I grew so fond of the people that the farewell was really hard.

Information about Havana

Why Havana? In Habana, the capital of Cuba, there are more than 2.5 millions inhabitants. Habana is a city pulsating with colour and life - even the name Habana evokes images of dusky maidens, cigar smoke, revolution and passion. The architecture of Old Habana is very charming with its narrow, cobbled streets, shady plazas, grilled windows and grand, if in many places, crumbling buildings. The Cubans are optimistic and their infectious smiles will make any visitor feel welcome.
