Cuba is among the most exciting islands in the Caribbean and it has just about everything you could imagine. There are dramatic mountainous landscapes, wild and unspoilt valleys, sweeping vistas of sugar cane, sprawling tobacco plantations, exquisite cities dating from the mid-fifteenth century, beautiful beaches and above all Cuba’s greatest asset: the people.

WELCOME TO HAVANA
:quality(70))
The towns and cities of Cuba are surprising for their variety of architectural styles: baroque, neo-gothic, neo-classical, art noveau, art deco, modernist and post-modernist and each of them add to the living history of the island. Museum cities of extraordinary charm can be found all over Cuba; the Old Havana, with its system of fortifications, the historic centre of the city of Cienfuegos; Trinidad, in the province of Sancti Spiritus; and the Historic Centre of Camaguey, are all well worth a visit for their history and their World Heritage status.

You'll be wandering through cobblestone streets that practically hum with history, surrounded by pastel-colored buildings that look like they've been dipped in sunshine.

As you wander through the grand halls, you might find yourself face-to-face with Che Guevara's beret or Fidel Castro's uniform, just casually on display as if they were everyday items.
