On December 7, 2014, Havana – the capital of Cuba and six other cities, including La Paz (Bolivia), Durban (South Africa), Beirut (Lebanon), Doha (Qatar), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and Vigan (the Philippines) were voted as new seven wonders cities by the New7Wonders of Switzerland.
It not only is a great pride of the Cuban people, but also a valuable present to celebrate the 495th birthday of this beautiful city.
The city draws tourists because of its charms. It is well known for the old quarter (La Habana Vieja) located near the calm bay of Havana. Baroque architecture and colourful old cars seem to decorate the beautiful place where there are hospitable locals with friendly smiles.
Visiting the city for only one time, one will never forget the memories of La Habana, a colourful city.
Despite its ups and downs over the years, Havana which is called the City of Love and Miracles, still has its graceful and timeless charm that deserves the title of a new wonder city.
