Step into Camagüey, Cuba's third largest city and one of the island's most captivating colonial destinations. Famous for its labyrinthine streets, beautiful old churches and vibrant cultural life, Camagüey offers an authentic taste of Cuba far from the tourist crowds. The historic centre of Camagüey is the largest in Cuba and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, best explored on foot. Wander its winding alleys, designed centuries ago to confuse pirates, and discover beautiful churches such as the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad and the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Merced. History lovers should not miss the Museo Provincial Ignacio Agramonte, which tells the story of the region and its national heroes. For sweeping views over the city, climb the tower of the Cathedral de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, just off the picturesque Plaza San Juan de Dios. Across the river, Casino Campestre, Cuba's largest urban park, invites you to relax in the shade after a day of sightseeing. Be sure to visit the lively local market on the banks of the Río Hatibonico at the southern end of the historic centre, where everyday Cuban life unfolds before your eyes. Getting around is easy: the historic centre is compact enough to walk, while taxis and bicycle-taxis are readily available. Whether you love colonial architecture, Cuban history or simply soaking up the atmosphere of an authentic Cuban city, Camagüey is an unmissable stop on any Cuba travel itinerary.
