Shopping
Many tourists seek out rum and cigars while on their vacations in Cuba, but there is so much more to be found. There are authentic crafts, clothing, jewelry and interesting souvenirs to be found in the many open air markets dotting the country. Visiting these local gathering spots is more than just a shopping trip; it’s a cultural experience in itself.
Sightseeing
There are many beautiful parts of Cuba to explore including Havana, Varadero, Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos. Colorful capital Havana offers a wealth of sights and sounds to take in, including fine museums, colonial buildings, elegant plazas, wide boulevards and narrow streets bristling with character. Santiago de Cuba is the most Caribbean part of Cuba, offering a laid-back lifestyle and rich mix of inhabitants while Varadero provides Cuba’s night club heavy, lively answer to Cancun.
Restaurants and Nightlife
Anywhere you go in the country is bound to offer flavorful, authentic, delicious food. Santiago de Cuba is more heavily centered on Afro-Cuban culture while Cienfuegos still maintains some of its French roots. If you are looking for a town where you can party all night long, Varadero is dominated by tourism, hotels, shops and nightclubs, almost anywhere you go in Varadero you are never out of sight of a hotel.
