Havana, Cuba, is known for many things, including its cigars and rum, art scene, and overall 1950s vibe. But the most exciting thing about Havana might just be the bursts of color radiating from both the vintage cars racing up and down cobblestone streets and from vibrant buildings that first appeared in the 16th and 17th centuries. During the 19th century, stained glass windows were introduced to many buildings, creating brilliant color as the sun beats down upon the Caribbean city. Old Havana holds a UNESCO World Heritage status, as its history has been impeccably preserved, to the point where it almost feels time has stopped altogether.
