Cuba City & Beach

Start exploring the vibrant city of Havana, Cuba’s colourful capital, where life is lived to the rhythm of the music. Its centre, Old Havana, is a World Heritage site, and you’ll explore it on a private walking tour, taking you from the ancient Spanish defences to the Plaza de la Revolution and the Colon Cemetery. Later, step back in time to the Nostalgicar workshop, which restores old, abandoned cars, to learn all about the process involved in fixing these vintage cars.

Leaving the bright lights of Havana behind, drive two hours to Varadero, a delightful spot boasting over 20 miles of soft white sands, perfect for a few days’ rest and relaxation. You have a whole week to make the most of the beaches, where you could sign up for a number of activities including snorkelling, kite surfing, golfing or banana boating on the warm turquoise waters. Of course, many people choose to simply chill out under a palm tree with a book – the choice is yours.
