Forget the postcard images - Havana is a city in flux, with a population of 2,106,146 as of the last census. While tourism has brought some investment, the legacy of the revolution still weighs heavily, with a bureaucratic headache and aging infrastructure that are persistent challenges for residents. Tornadoes and hurricanes are also a regular threat. Overall, Havana offers an authentic, if gritty, Caribbean experience, but it's not for the faint of heart.
