Where Should I go: Havana or Greenville?
Havana
The city of Havana is at the top of most peoples' bucket list - mostly because of the allure of a forbidden land. Before the Communist revolution, Cuba was a popular tourist destination. Since it has reopened in the 1990s, it has drawn tourists from all over the world (except the US).
This capital city is a land trapped in the past. With 50 years of neglect, when you step off the plane, prepare to step back in time. A trip to Havana is meant for those with truly open minds - and when they arrive they'll be swept away.
Greenville
Greenville marks the largest metropolitan area of South Carolina in terms of expanse. The urban area makes for a unique landscape where the Old South meets the New South in a mix of historic homes and modern skyscrapers. Considered to be the "upstate" region of South Carolina, Greenville has much to offer in entertainment, drawing visitors with its annual concerts, festivals, and events.
