BUENOS AIRES

Equally European as South American in flavour, the Italian influence in Buenos Aires is clear – with its stylish shops, steak restaurants and trendy cafés. It is at night that Buenos Aires really comes alive with tango music and dance in the streets and the sizzle of succulent steaks on the grill. With a glass of the local Malbec in hand your Spanish will improve just by being there!

HAVANA

The classic cars, the salsa beats on every corner, the faded colonial façades, and an old guy with a mojito in one hand and Cuban cigar in the other… this is the Cuba everybody knows, even those who have never visited. This is a Cuba that everyone must experience once in their lives – and be caught up by the friendliness of the people, the beauty of the Caribbean sea, and the notion that sometimes the world doesn’t have to move forward at breakneck speed.
