Known as the "City of Parks," Holguín is a destination that has it all: dreamlike beaches, lush landscapes, vibrant history, and an authentic cultural scene. Located in eastern Cuba, this city is perfect for travelers seeking a complete experience that blends tradition, nature, and relaxation. Stroll through its charming historic center and discover iconic spots such as Calixto García Park — the heart of the city — and La Marqueta Square, a local artisan market where art, flavors, and live culture come together. Nearby, the impressive Eddy Suñol Theater and the Birthplace Museum of Calixto García connect you with the region’s rich heritage.
For a panoramic view you won't forget, climb the 450+ steps to Loma de la Cruz, Holguín’s most famous natural lookout, offering breathtaking views of the city. And if you're drawn to the sea, you’ll find pristine white-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters less than an hour away — including Guardalavaca, Playa Esmeralda, and Pesquero — ideal for relaxation, diving, and water sports. Holguín is also about warm people, Caribbean rhythms, and a deep rural tradition that lives in every corner. Perfect for those who want to go beyond the typical, Holguín invites you to discover a Cuba that is authentic, welcoming, and full of life.
