Cuba is a king-sized Caribbean island that sprawls off the southern coast of Florida.
It’s got loads of claims to fame, from the salsa bars and classic cars of Havana to the sugary white beaches in Trinidad and Baracoa. It’s also a political hotpot, dishing up revolutionary monuments and Communist museums, as well as friendly, tuned-in locals.

When visiting Cuba, most travellers head for the crowd-pleasers– the beaches of Varadero and Bahia de Baracoa, and the iconic capital city, Havana.
But there’s much more to this Caribbean island. Santiago de Cuba stars regal but crumbling architecture. Rusting, brightly-painted classic cars rumble along the streets in Trinidad. And while there are plenty of thriving tobacco farms, you’ll also find atmospheric abandoned tea plantations.
Just off the mainland, over 4,000 islands and cays speckle the Caribbean Sea. Some, like Cayo Coco, feature lively beach resorts, while others – take Cayo Guillermo – are pindrop-quiet slips of sand.
