1. Jardines De La Reina
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 67 reviews
Situated on the Caribbean, the Gardens of the Queen consist of a vast area with countless islands, reefs, beaches and flats forming a large archipelago of about 200 km long. Over 400 km separate Habana from Jucaro, the harbor with access to the fishing areas. All the sport-fishing species abound in the Gardens of the Queen: bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook, jack Crevalle, barracuda, snapper, etc.

La Habana is a great City to visit, old cars, great walks, good food and warm people, lots of live music, rum and cigars, history, art and plazas...be sure to hit Plaza de Revolution... The city has it all. The old City take a good day get through ...Sloppy Joe's, Floridita Street, and in modern Havana be sure to see Hotel Nacional and Tropicana. The Capitolo building is a great landmark to start from. If you can go inside, there is one of the largest diamonds in the world encased in the floor.

Plaza Mayor is a beautiful square at the heart of Trinidad,the most beautiful city in Cuba and also in the Caribbean.All Trinidad is walkable and Plaza Maaaayor should be your first visit to attend the church and the museums. Then you should go back at sunset for more photographs and for dinner at one of the restaurants on the central steps where street musicians provide the entertainment

An impressive fortress built to protect the entrance to the Santiago harbour that has been restored to its original splendour. Beyond a doubt it is a must see location when visiting the city.
8. Old Square (Plaza Vieja)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8,604 reviews
What is now called the Old Square was originally Plaza Nueva (New Square), built as a popular alternative to Plaza de Armas, the military and government nerve center. Later called Plaza del Mercado (Market Square) as Havana's commercial hub, Plaza Vieja was the site of executions, processions, bullfights, and fiestas -- all witnessed by Havana's wealthiest citizens, who looked on from their balconies. The original Carrara marble fountain surrounded by four dolphins was demolished in the 1930s when President Gerardo Machado (1871-1939) built an underground parking lot here. Today the square's surrounding structures vary wildly in condition, though all of them are noteworthy.

Having visited Plaza Vieja during the Special Period when it looked like London at the height of the blitz (WWII), it is always a pleasure to see the continuing restoration and rejuvenation of this stunning square. Excellent.

It’s a 10CUC peso cab ride each way or 5CUC each way on the bus that stops at each hotel every hour up until around 5pm-ish (if you take a cab there prearrange with your driver when you want him to come back to get you - best tip we got) Rent a day bed or 2 deck chairs under a covered & elevated shaded space for 10CUC & they (an older Cuban gentleman wearing a hat - think softened-Cuban-style-grandpa with a fanny pack) give you 3 free drinks (tickets exchanged) at the beach bar as well, (cocktails, beer - didn’t see wine as an option) which also has premium pineapple filled fruit filled drinks & light snacks (Pringle’s etc) at a reasonable price Rent just 2 beach chairs for 4CUC There are no hotels on this beach area - though catamarans do include the beach on day tours & pull in daily They also offer excursions from this beach but really it’s fantastic on its own & worth checking out. There is a small decent restaurant right on the beach at the end of the boardwalk that serves chicken & lobster dishes as well as beer and wi e & it has a thatched roof covering but still outside and open. Was there in March and the sun is intense - pack a good sunblock, hats & cover ups. Bring TP - the bathrooms were usable but not idea - keeping in mind it is Cuba ;)
