If cultural heritage is what you’re seeking during your visit to Trinidad, you’ll find it in abundance. This extraordinary colonial city in the heart of central Cuba plays host to the most fascinating architecture, from mansions to museums and its neo-baroque Plaza Mayor. Well, it is declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, after all.
The preserved colonial centre was built on the fortunes of the local sugar industry and today encapsulates everything that is wonderfully authentic about this country, including atmospheric backstreets beating to the sound of live music, vibrant cobbled squares that ooze rich history, and friendly locals.
