With Spanish colonial plazas, buzzing music venues, artists\u2019 studios, and ancient streets concealing museums, restaurants and bars, Cuba\u2019s must-visit cities, are scattered across the length of the island. All were founded by the Spaniards over the last 500 years, bar one. And, all are easy to explore on foot with a few taxi rides needed for the larger cities like Havana and Santiago de Cuba.<\/p>\n

Hemmed in by a seaside promenade, beautiful Havana<\/strong> faces the Atlantic Ocean. A castle built for her defence against pirates stands at the head of the harbour. Come for the music, classic cars, cigars, cocktails, new dining scene, art, and dazzling architecture. Much of Havana\u2019s Old City has been painstakingly restored.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Havana<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Matanzas<\/strong> is sandwiched between the Yumur\u00ed and San Juan rivers on Cuba\u2019s north coast. It gets few visitors as most are in a rush to head to the beach resort of Varadero. But linger a while. Explore the artists\u2019 studios down on the renovated San Juan riverfront, the exquisitely preserved 19th<\/sup>-century French pharmacy, and the handmade books at Ediciones Vig\u00eda. Don\u2019t miss rumba in the streets and at festivals.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Matanzas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cienfuegos<\/strong>, the only city founded by the French in Cuba, enjoys a breezy spot on Cuba\u2019s southern Caribbean coast. Find elegant architecture, a Moorish palace, artists\u2019 studios, fabulous theatre, and a walk to the mojito bar that juts into a bay passing colourful ancient wooden homes on the way.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Cienfuegos<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Santa Clara<\/strong>, founded in 1689, has a large student population. So, after exploring the impressive Che Guevara mausoleum and Che-related sites, look out for events and festivals and don\u2019t miss Club Mejunje \u2013 for singers, performances, and drag.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Santa Clara<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Sitting between the cool heights of the Escambray Mountains and the sparkling Caribbean Sea is Trinidad<\/strong>, the jewel in Cuba\u2019s Spanish colonial crown. Immense wealth reaped from African slave-powered sugar plantations found its way into city mansions, villas, and churches. Today, Trinidad is famous for its lively live music and arts\u2019 scene.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Trinidad<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Rarely visited Sancti Sp\u00edritus<\/strong> is a colonial city of pretty streets and a handsome central plaza. Go for the quieter atmosphere, its church \u2013 the oldest in Cuba, the extraordinary interior of the city library, a stone bridge arcing over the river, and the fascinating colonial art museum.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Sancti Spiritus<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the heart of church-filled Camag\u00fcey<\/strong> are winding colonial streets \u2013 said to have been built that way to deter attacking pirates. This fine city is perfect for culture lovers with artists\u2019 studios, theatre, ballet, and live music.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Camaguey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Santiago de Cuba<\/strong> is a musical powerhouse. Yes, come for the ancient history, the 1959 Revolution museums, Fidel Castro\u2019s grave, and the rum history and museum. But stay for the live music and the folkloric dance companies. Search for performances in city centre venues. Visiting in summer? Don\u2019t miss the city\u2019s two riotous July carnivals.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Santiago De Cuba<\/strong><\/p>\n

Few travellers stop in Guant\u00e1namo<\/strong>. Not only famous for the US naval base down the road, the city hosts cultural events worth stopping for, too. Find Tumba Francesa performances \u2013 a Haitian-influenced country dance, and music at the Casa del Chang\u00fci, where you can catch a performance of this Guant\u00e1namo-rooted music.<\/p>\n

\"Must<\/span><\/p>\n

Guantanamo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perched on the eastern edge of Cuba, tiny Baracoa<\/strong> was the first city founded by the Spaniards in 1511. Come for the spectacular setting, the history, and to hear the city\u2019s wonderful myths and fables. Explore wild beaches, waterfalls, mountains and archaeological sites by day, and the live music, festivals, and great dining scene by night.<\/p>\n
