WHAT TO DO IN TRINIDAD? The small town of Trinidad, located in the midst of sugarcane plantations in the southern part of central Cuba offers much more than meets the eye. This picturesque old town could be a spectacular backdrop for any film set in the 19th century and depicting the Spanish Colonialism. The historic centre boasts many sites of cultural importance, such as Plaza Mayor with La Parroquial Mayor church, Museo Histórico Municipal, Palacio Brunet (Museo Romántico)...,Museo de Arquitectura, the Palacio Ortiz gallery, the Cantero sugar palace (Museo Municipal) and the bell tower of the San Francisco Convent, to name a few. One can easily visit them all in a single day and still have plenty of time for a nice lunch at a local paladar and a couple of cocktails on the terrace of Casa de la Musica, where at night everyone gathers to enjoy live music and hot salsa rhythms. But Trinidad deserves more than a 1-day stay - whether you are a fan of mountain hiking or horseback riding, relaxing on the beach or exploring beautiful waterfalls in the woods, there are so many options available. If you are in doubt about planning your stay in Trinidad, contact us to find out what activities could meet your requirements: www.myplacecuba.com #trinidadcuba #sightseeingintrinidad #triptocuba

WHAT TO DO IN HAVANA? No matter if it’s your first visit to the Cuban capital or one of the many, there are always fun things to do in the city. Having explored its historic centre, La Habana Vieja, with its beautiful squares (la Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza Vieja, Plaza de Armas and Plaza de San Francisco de Asis) and the bustling Obispo thoroughfare, you can head towards the famous Capitolio and the impressive Teatro Nacional. From there you can walk towards one of the most ...prominent Havana’s landmarks - el Malecon, appreciating colonial architecture along Paseo del Prado. Get splashed by a huge wave on this well-known waterfront promenade and then take a taxi to El Moro, the fortress protecting Havana’s harbour. There you can take some spectacular photos of Havana’s city scape. On your way back to the city, stop at one of Hemingway’s favourite bars - El Floridita or La Bodeguita for a quick refreshment (a couple of most delicious mojitos!). Then, you can hop on a red double decker bus that will take you to Vedado, where you can visit Plaza de la Revolucion and the commercial centre of Havana… For more ideas, reach out to us: info@myplacecuba.com

If you are travelling to Cuba in the next couple of weeks and are not sure whether you should go due to the recent situation with hurricane Irma, here are some reasons for not cancelling your trip: 1. things are now going back to normal and all major airports are operating both local and international flights, 2. many regions have not felt any major consequences of the hurricane so they are still as beautiful as before, 3. even though some luxury resorts are currently unavai...lable, there are many beautiful casas particulares which can offer you excellent services, comfort and a possibility to experience authentic Cuban lifestyle, 4. Cuban economy largely depends on tourism, so if you want to help its people weather the storm after the massive losses they have suffered, go and use their services! #holidayincubaafterirma #letsgotocuba #cuba #cubaholiday

LOW SEASON ('TEMPORADA BAJA') is about to begin in Cuba, but don't let this discourage you, if you're travelling to Cuba in May or June. Though these months tend to be more humid and rainy than the previous ones, it never rains for more than a couple of days in a fortnight. Moreover, rain clouds clear away quickly, as soon as a summer shower is over, so you can expect many sunny hours on the beach! #rainincuba #lowseason #anyhopeforsun

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW about booking a room for one night in Havana: as the capital of Cuba has become a very popular travel destination, many B&B owners in Havana decline booking requests for a single night, because they know they can get reservations for longer stays. Some of them will accept 1-night bookings only to cancel them later when they receive a better offer from another client. Our recommendation is to rent a room for at least two nights, even if you only need to stay closer to the airport a day before your departure from Cuba.
