OVERVIEW
Have you always wanted to visit Cuba? Embark on the holiday of a lifetime for your honeymoon by visiting the capital city of Havana. Know as one of the most exhilarating cities in the world, you’re sure to be in your element if you enjoy rich culture, jaw-dropping architecture, and hustling streets that are just waiting to be explored.
If you’re ever worried about things to see and do on holiday, you’ll be spoiled for choice as to how to spend your time in Havana. If you’re keen on history and boosting your knowledge while exploring somewhere new, there are multiple museums to suit all interests such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Chocolate Museum, and of course, the Museum of Rum – no surprises being Cuba! Other attractions include the 16th-century Castillo de la Real Fuerza or taking a tour of the famous cigar factory.
If you’re keen to take a breather from the rush of the city, it’s easy to escape to somewhere a little more low-key and we’d highly recommend the oldest city in the county founded in 1511 – Baracoa. Here, you’ll discover the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Parque Nacional Alejandro Humboldt which is home to a wealth of stunning flora, fauna, and wildlife. Other popular day trips from Havana include the Vinales valley which is renowned for its striking countryside and of course, its connections with tobacco making.
A trip to Cuba wouldn’t be complete with a visit to one of its stunning beaches. We’d recommend venturing out to Trinidad if you’re eager to experience the ultimate Caribbean beach dream – think bright white sands, turquoise oceans, and towering palm trees.
