3. HAVANA and other colonial cities
Spend time in the capital and main port HAVANA, with its cobbled streets and time-worn colonial buildings. Old Havana is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and highlights include the Capitol building and Cathedral de Havana. For a vibrant nightlife with bars, clubs, music and dance, it’s the place to go. TRINIDAD has colourful housing dating from the Spanish era and is a World heritage site because of its historical importance as the centre of the sugar trade. CAMAGUEY has architectural gems, elegant buildings and bell towers. BARACOA, founded in 1511, is said to be Cuba’s oldest city.

4. Unique history and rich culture
Cuba is sometimes called a ‘’living museum,’’ due to Castro’s embargo banning American imports, with many restored classic cars etc creating an image of a bygone age. Head to the Museum of the Revolution in Old Havana, and Che Guevara Mausoleum in Santa Clara.
Festivals are popular...Carnival de Santiago de Cuba is the biggest in the Caribbean! The cuisine has Spanish, Caribbean and African influences...try Ropa Viega, beef stew and peppers. Cuban rum, cigars and mojito cocktails are world famous.
