Cuba's AttracionsCuban DiningHoliday Activities
Those staying in Havana should head to the Tropicana for an evening of entertainment with
Cuban dance performances. Founded in 1931, the Tropicana has played host to greats like Jack
Nicholson and Nat King Cole. Cuba is also a great place for seeing wildlife as it has an
abundance of national parks. The island is home to over 350 species of birds which include
the world’s smallest, the bee hummingbird. Come and enjoy the natural beauty of the island
of Cuba.
Cuban food has developed over the years and combines flavours of Spanish, Afro-Caribbean,
Portuguese and French. Cuban cuisine combines simple ingredients in a unique way and brings
rich flavours to the dishes. Dinners frequently include several dishes with rice, meat, salad
and bread featuring strongly. In Cuba you will find some great food at reasonable prices.
Enjoy dining in restaurants around the historic cities, trying some of the local rum with your
meal.
Surrounded by the warm Caribbean waters, Cuba is the perfect place to enjoy some top class
scuba diving and snorkelling. Maria La Gorda is a sheltered bay which offers some great diving
with wrecks, caves, tunnels and lots of fish life. For a different experience why not visit one
of the cigar factories or rum distilleries and learn about the process of hand rolling cigars
or distilling rum. Don’t forget to pick up some souvenirs for friends and family.
