As far as nightlife in Europe goes, Berlin’s got the title of best clubbing city firmly in the bag. Since the 90’s, Berlin’s dance floor action has reached near-mythical status; the clubber culture having become both a lifestyle and a religion.
This is a city where the nightlife is intense. Techno still rules the house, though there are plenty of other beats like hip hop, dancehall and dubstep, and every weekend, global hedonists invade town to bond with locals in their pursuit of good times.

The resulting travel rush has been unsurprising. As the unreachable home nation of many prominent Americans and their ancestors, Cuba carries a special mystique. The opportunity to break through that veil and see what the country is all about carries great appeal for American travelers.
As soon as the ban was lifted, airlines were able to start planning flights into and out of Cuba. But with such close proximity to Miami and the Keys, Cuba is an obvious choice for taking a cruise.
The process of setting up oceangoing routes for these trips is underway, and it won’t be long until American citizens can board a ship headed to Cuba. As you consider options for family friendly vacations, you will find Cuba to be a great option.
