Places to visit in Cuba
Cuba’s highlights run the length of the island, from the capital in the west to the mountains and coast of the east. Regions are linked by road and the occasional short flight. Here’s where we recommend spending your time.

Cuba’s Caribbean coast is renowned for its sugar-white beaches, turquoise waters and excellent opportunities for swimming and water sports. From secluded coves and coral cayes to the remote western and eastern tips of the island, this diverse coastline combines pristine beaches, colonial charm and some of Cuba’s most beautiful coastal scenery.
Discover a fascinating region at the heart of Cuba, where elegant colonial architecture, revolutionary history and one of the Caribbean’s most infamous shorelines combine to create an unforgettable journey. Our Cienfuegos holidays take in the French-inspired streets of Cienfuegos, the revolutionary landmarks of Santa Clara and the historic Bay of Pigs.
Havana
Havana holidays showcase one of the world’s most captivating cities, where grand colonial squares, colourful classic cars and faded mansions create an unforgettable atmosphere. As Cuba’s cultural and historic heart, Havana blends architecture, music and everyday life in a way few destinations can match.
Las Terrazas
Las Terrazas is one of Cuba’s most successful ecological restoration projects, where lush forests, winding trails, sparkling lakes and abundant wildlife have transformed a once-deforested landscape into a thriving UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Located just 74km from Havana, Las Terrazas offers a contrast to Cuba’s cities, providing opportunities for hiking, swimming, horse riding and nature.
Santiago de Cuba
Santiago de Cuba holidays offer a fascinating blend of revolutionary history, Afro-Cuban heritage and Caribbean culture. Set between the Sierra Maestra mountains and the Caribbean Sea, Cuba’s second city is renowned for its music, festivals and the events that helped shape the island’s history.
South-East Cuba
South-East Cuba reveals a lesser-visited side of the island, combining colonial cities, tropical countryside and the wild landscapes of the Sierra Maestra. Explore Camagüey’s maze of winding streets and discover remote Baracoa, surrounded by cocoa plantations and white-sand coves. Hike through the Sierra Maestra for sweeping views across Cuba towards the Caribbean Sea.
Trinidad holidays offer a captivating mix of colonial history, music and natural beauty. Wander UNESCO-listed cobbled streets, soak up the city’s vibrant atmosphere and explore the waterfalls, forests and jade-green pools of nearby Topes de Collantes.
Viñales holidays reveal a slower, more rural side of Cuba, where tobacco plantations stretch beneath dramatic limestone mogotes and pine-covered hills. Explore the UNESCO-listed Viñales Valley, visit family-run tobacco farms and discover a landscape far removed from Havana’s bustle.
