Cuba

The largest Caribbean island, Cuba offers breathtaking beaches and scenery; fascinating history; rich culture and much more.

Havana the capital of Cuba and largest city in the Caribbean is a must-see for any visitor. For centuries, it has served as the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico. And in 1982, Old Havana, the city’s historic centre, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Varadero is part of a peninsula that stretches far out into the calm waters of the Atlantic. Its 21-kilometre strip of fine white sandy beach has long been the pride of Cuba and is an ideal holiday spot for sun-lovers and water babies.
