Where Should I go: Nottingham or Havana?
Nottingham
Nottingham, England is located in the Eastern Midlands of England and it is one of the most popular destinations in the East Midlands and is commonly known as the "Queen of the Midlands". It is most widely known for its link to the popular legend of Robin Hood. Nottingham is one of the 10 most visited cities in England and has a historic past with settlements in the area dating back to pre-Roman times. Nottingham's economy was once mostly based on their Lace making factories and coal mining industries, though not much of these industries still remain in the area. The economy now has shifted more to the service industry and tourism and is a popular shopping destination.
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.
