I like havana's skyline 7.5/10

6/10

the first pic looks nice, but the others not all that much.

7/10
it's a shame.. that is a beautiful city but it seems that nobody in cuba takes care about it

ok skyline for it's conditions. 5.5/10

Beautiful pics, but not much of a skyline.

its ok i guess..7/10

6/10

a city that shares some things with manila. what can i say? it's so beautiful.

viva la revolucion!:guns1: :cheers: :) there's nothing special with the scrapers but the skyline looks good. it's not that dense but it's definately one of the best i've seen in latin america (in my opinion). i am being a little generous.:? 8/10 :)

one of the best in latinamerica? :laugh: what about caracas, bogota, santiago, lima, mexico city, panama, cartagena, sao paulo, belo horizonte, fortaleza, acapulco, guatemala city, santo domingo, cali, maracaibo, maracay?, you obviously havent seen anything of latinamerica ;) :D

for me 5.5

I give it a 5/10. Havana may not have as great of a skyline. Cuba is much better off now than it was 50 years ago under the oppressive dictatorship of Batista.

5

Doesn't seem to have much of a "skyline" really, mainly a lot of densely packed beautiful old low rises, with the odd taller building popping its head up over the rest. Lacks a focal point.

6/10

Havana is very interesting city but its skyline is average - only some commie boxy buildings... 6/10

one of the best in latinamerica? :laugh: what about caracas, bogota, santiago, lima, mexico city, panama, cartagena, sao paulo, belo horizonte, fortaleza, acapulco, guatemala city, santo domingo, cali, maracaibo, maracay?, you obviously havent seen anything of latinamerica ;) :D

seen some. probably not a lot. i dun find others as interesting. i have my own opinion.

Cannot see the pics ..

Maybe one day soon we (USA) can all go to Havana. I hear it is very beautiful (just needs a paint job).

no veo las fotos ....... 5/10 :sleepy:

I can't see any of the pics. So I'll post some new ones...

Those are great photos, Shafick.

Thanks for helping me resurrect this dying thread on Havana.

Looks pretty good, far better than what i expected.
6.5/10

It's a shame Castro won't die already.

10, It's a pleasant looking skyline (also, I adore Cuba :D).

5/10 Skyline hasn't changed since Castro came to town (and country!) Cuba had become quite benign and pathetic in the years since the Soviet Union fell apart, but now with the rise of Chavez in Venezuela and his deals with Cuba, look for Castro to be back to causing trouble. I feel sorry for the majority of the Cuban people. The old tyrant has resharpened a few of his teeth.

Doesn't look too bad. I give it a 5.5/10.

7/10, many of those crumbling buildings could be repaired....I hope.

Nice country but needs remodeling and 1 point off for being communist 6/10. Also we are wasting time on iraq why not take over this place and make it part of florida!! :jippo:
:dance:

old design.. I like it :) 6.5/10

7/10

6/10 not much of a skyline, but it has a bustling street scene

I love the old buildings, the city looks very charming. Skylinewise it's not great though at all: mostly just grey residentials along the waterfront.

needs a good paint job ;) skyline 4/10

Habana Libre :okay:

It's not that bad!! I though it was worst! But it's nice! 8 :)

Beautiful pics. Been there once; one of the most special place I've ever been. Very rare atmosphere -> kind of forbidden paradise. Proud and friendly people. Not a impressive skyline, but more than worth visiting this place.
6/10

7/10, impressive

5.0/10

Christina Milian Annnnd Vida Guerra are descendants/immigrants of this country, so the skyline deserves nothing less than a 10.

nice city, my communist brother. 9/10

1/10 That's for being a communist pain in the ass! Fidel you f-cked up the entire country!!!! La habana WAS a beautiful place with sooooo much potential....

6/10

God, Havana looks gorgeous. If only it weren't a FEDERAL OFFENSE to visit.

I love how it really contrasts with the American/Western obsession with modernity. It's stunning.

5/10

Cuba still havent learnt (or dont want to) from China & Vietnam...the only pure good commie is a dead commie...as long as Cuba still shut the door, we will have a second North Korea.

And no offense here, comrades.

4/10 from a friendly comrade.

6.5/10
Better then I expected.

6/10

Get rid of Castro.

A free Cuba and a free Havana given a couple of decades to be restored to its former glory would probably resemble San Juan / Miami, with the old colonial architecture restored.

7/10.

I'm no Castro fan... but, really, I don't understand this kind of comments. People talk about Cuba as if before Castro it was the most democratic nation on Earth. Come on. It was a dictactorship, previously an American proxy-state and before that it was a Spanish colony. How could the Cuban people miss somehting they never had?

And... at least, under communism, Habana hasn't gone through the real state speculation tha swept the Latin American cities and it still preserves its architectural heritage.

Looks like a scene from a classical 1950s movie..Nice old buildings..5.5/10
