Havana
Offering a vibrant mix of cultures, history, and experiences, Havana attracts tourists with its lively cafés and bars, all playing the tantalising sounds of rumba. With its colourful architecture inspired by an eclectic mix of Baroque, neoclassical and Art-Deco styles, a stay in this Caribbean city is one you’ll never forget.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Havana is the beating heart of this lively city, where you’ll find authentic Cuban cuisine and bars serving the best Caribbean cocktails, including daiquiris and mojitos.
If you’re looking to discover Cuba’s eventful history, head to the Museo de la Revolución, housed in a former presidential palace. As the sun sets, experience the city’s vibrant nightlife at the iconic Tropicana Club, where you can catch a cabaret performance and sip a signature Cuba Libre cocktail.
Trinidad
Apart from Havana and Cuba's famous beach resorts, Trinidad is Cuba's most popular tourist destination. Its popularity is due to the city's location, nestled between the beach and picturesque mountains, and the fact that the city itself still largely retains its centuries-old origins.
Cayo Santa Maria
You will also head to the sunny beaches of Cayo Santa Maria where you can relax 100%. This small island, located about 5 hours by car from Havana, is part of the Jardines del Rey archipelago, which has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO and is a true paradise.
