8 Best Things to do in Cuba - Guide by Fashion Blogger Julia Comil and where to take instagram worthy pictures

Cuba is a beautiful island with a lot to offer. I listed below my 8 best things to do in Cuba which I totally loved!

Cuba was a very interesting experience but it was not the easiest place to travel to. After discussing with different people who traveled to Cuba, we all had a different experience and feeling about the Island. However, we all agreed on the fact that Cuba was absolutely beautiful for its nature and old historic cities.

8 best things to do in Cuba

 

1 Sleep in a Casa Particular

Trinidad roofs - Best things to do in CubaBook in advance to sleep in a casa particular. During very touristic seasons it is very hard to find a good casa as the vacancies are very limited. So make sure to book in advance.

3. Eat at La Guarida

Book one or two weeks in advance to eat at La Guarida. It was so hard to find delicious fine dining restaurants in Cuba. In Havana, I had a real pleasure to eat at La Guarida. The place is absolutely stunning: an old palace with contemporary arts.

4. Visit Fabrica De Arte Cubano

Fabrica De Arte Cubano - Best places to go in CubaIn Havana, I felt in love with the Fabrica De Arte Cuban. Voted the best night cultural proposal in Havana, the place has a lot to offer from dance, concerts, exhibitions, pop-up stores. You can do everything in one night, while enjoying a cocktail and delicious tapas. The bar next door is also very cool (it is in a former furnace).

If you are into arts, the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana is also really interesting.

You will also go in the Havana suburb to visit his house and boat located at San Francisco de Paula (approximately 9 miles from the capital city). Hemingway tour - Best things to do in Cuba

6. Visit Cienfuegos

Cienfuegos - Jose Mari - Best Things to do in CubaUnesco inscribed Cienfuegos on the World Heritage List for its unique cluster of Neoclassical structures. Make sure to walk around the park Jose Marti and La Punta. I preferred Trinidad to Cienfuegos, but for a lot of my friends, Cienfuegos is the top of the best things to do in Cuba.
