Havana
This is one cool capital city. The district of Old Havana exudes a faded glamour, a mix of beautifully-preserved colonial architecture, and run-down, frayed buildings.

Cienfuegos
Nicknamed the 'Pearl of the South', the photogenic city of Cienfuegos on central Cuba's southern coast boasts a beautiful bay and some spectacular colonial architecture.
