Camagüey Holidays

Celebrated for its refined style and timeless elegance, central Cuba enjoys a unique, artistic charm that sets Camagüey apart.

Its intricate layout of narrow, irregular winding streets and alleys are not only stunning, but also serve a practical purpose—originally designed to confuse and deter pirate attacks during colonial times! Navigating these labyrinthine streets of Camaguey is like embarking on an intriguing adventure, where surprises await at every turn.

Holidaymakers here are in for a showcase of UNESCO treasures and remarkable architecture that overwhelms the senses. From iconic landmarks, hidden plazas and captivating galleries to baroque churches, welcoming bars and restaurants extending the flavours of Cuban culinary treats... Try the succulent roast pork washed down with refreshing mojitos that will leave your taste buds tantalised! And of course, as the sun sets, the lively music and dance scene comes alive, offering you the chance to salsa the night away.

Whether it’s the "agramontinos" vibe of the heart-warming locals, the artistic vibrance of astounding ceramics, paintings and sculptures or the fusion of Spanish, African and indigenous influences in the city's architecture, music and cuisine…as folklore has it, once you drink from Camaguey’s traditional clay pot, you’ll be bound to this city forever!
