Havana, Cuba's capital and largest city, stands as a living archive of Caribbean history. Matanzas is a port city in northwestern Cuba and the capital of Matanzas Province. Cienfuegos is a Cuban city with a UNESCO-listed historic centre, recognised for its architectural and urban character. Santa Clara is a city of quarter of a million people in Villa Clara Province, central Cuba.
Why it works
Rather than one city, this threads Havana, Matanzas and Cienfuegos and more into a single trip, so you see more of Cuba in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
