Cuba is a popular tourist destination but there are certain parts of the country which are more visited than others. Many go to places such as Holguin, Varadero or Jardines del Rey and stay in an all-inclusive resort. It isn't uncommon to find guests of these resorts never stepping foot outside of it but if they did, they would find they are missing out on some fantastic culture. Talking and mingling with the locals can be delightful as many have stories to tell which you will sure to remember for a long time.
Havana
Havana is all about the view. The famed boulevard, "El Malecon" is known for its romantic features and often sees couples walking hand-in-hand. La Habana takes you back in time to a more relaxed setting with American cars, rum, cigars and la visa Haberna. Live music can be found everywhere as that's how many of the locals earn a living.
Trinidad
Trinidad is one of the more traditional parts of Cuba. Not only are there numerous churches of splendid dcor, both inside and out, it also features public squares which are truly something to behold. Main Square receives much attention with its buildings of great architecture and historical context. Cathedral Square may be considered to be the most important square in Cuba but Main Square is not lagging very far behind. The museums also receive a lot of visitors such as The Romantic Museum and The Museums of Architecture.
Varadero
A young city in terms of a holiday destination as it wasn't until 1959's revolution, that anyone was welcome to visit. Nowadays, it stands as perhaps more typical of a holiday resort than any other in Cuba with endless hotels, gorgeous sandy, white beach an impressive golf course and shopping mall.
Vinales
A city made for couples, the sheer romance of Vinales is there for all to see. The main street features small houses, all of which are painted in a different colour. The city also happens to be in one of the more natural parts of Cuba, which is why it tends to attract nature lovers. Unlike musical Havana, it is both quiet and peaceful.
