A land of

architecture,

and iconic

the must-visit
destination
of 2019, says
Denice Sapsford
from Premier
Travel.
With beautiful white sandy beaches,
stunning architecture where history
seems to be embedded in every brick,
iconic sights, and music that fi lls the
air from all street corners, it is easy
to see why the largest island in the
Caribbean - Cuba - has been the must-
see destination for the past few years.
One of the jewels of its crown - and
there are so many - is the stunning
capital city of Havana, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site and probably
one of the most beautiful cities in
the Caribbean and Latin America.
Celebrating its 500th anniversary
this year, there’s no better time
to experience its cobbled streets,
magnifi cent squares and brightly
coloured buildings - many of which
feature crumbling façades that create
a haunting beauty. Wherever you go,
you are met with a smiling face, from
the drivers of the classic 1950’s cars
to the peanut sellers on every corner,
jostling for the best position alongside
local musicians.
The size of the island allows endless
possibilities to explore and get into the
heart and minds of the Cuban people
away from its stunning capital. Vinales,
less than two hours to the west of
Havana, is a spectacular area and yet
another UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Its rolling hills are covered in dense
tobacco plantations, offering a rich
carpet of vegetation and a habitat for
some of Cuba’s stunning wildlife, much
of which is endemic to the area.
To the south, Trinidad is over 500 years
old and was built on the wealth of the
local sugar trade. Its brightly coloured
houses edge cobbled streets where
bread sellers and market traders sell
their wares to locals, tourists and the
cowboys who return to the city after a
day on their horses in the surrounding
farms.
vibe with an abundance of wildlife,
including exotic birdlife. The stunning
premier beach resort of Varadero
boasts luxury hotels that edge the
coastline of this beautiful peninsula,
offering accommodation for all tastes
and ages.
Premier Travel has long been
associated with Cuba Holidays, which
has been selling holidays to Cuba for
over 25 years.
Cuba’s Spanish colonial past can be
found in many cities across the island.
Cienfuegos boasts a stunning main
square and ornate theatre façade,
which overlooks the comings and
goings of everyday life, while Santiago
De Cuba offers a feel of the country’s
recent history and is known as the
cradle of the revolution, where Castro
pronounced the success of the political
struggle from a balcony to the excited
masses gathered below. Premier Travel can offer seven nights
