Havana City
Big it may be, but Cuba remains fairly
easily accessible by car – so even if you’re on a coastal resort, a
couple of hours’ drive to Havana City is well worth it. Full of museums,
small shops, and stunning architecture, it’s worth having a wander
around this unique city. If you have an evening to spare, head to the Havana rum distillery and bar to sample a proper cuba libré or go to a salsa dancing club to learn to dance from the best, accompanied by live music.
Rich History
Cuba has an eclectic and turbulent
history, but its contemporary culture has African, Native American, and
Colonial Spanish roots which are celebrated at every turn. There’s a huge array of museums
in the country for tourists to learn more, showcasing everything from
National Art to Cuban manufacturing highlights – check out the Car
Museum or Cigar Museum for something a little different. To learn a
little more about the politics, head to the Museum of the Revolution and
find out the story of Che Guevera behind the man on the t-shirts. For a
real step back in time, take a day trip to Trinidad, a former Sugar plantation city which has barely changed since 1850.
Natural Beauty
Cuba has so many stunning beach resorts
you’ll be spoiled for choice, so be sure to shop around before you book
to find the best one for a family holiday, a couple’s getaway, or
exploring with friends. Most beaches in the country are ideal for
engaging in a little snorkeling or scuba diving to see the gorgeous
coral reefs below, as well as windsurfing, fishing, and turtle-watching.
If you fancy something a little different, head further inland, to the
lush greenery of the UNESCO protected Viñales Valley is an ideal site for hiking, mountain climbing, or caving.
