The best things to do in Trinidad Cuba<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What to do in Trinidad? Here are some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explore the beautiful streets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I immediately fell in love with the beautiful streets of Trinidad. So many colorful houses, churches, vintage cars, and occasionally some people driving by with horses and carriages. It’s like going back in time, it’s so interesting! So take the time to wander through the cobbled streets of Trinidad, you will discover new details every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relax at Playa Ancon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A few kilometers outside the city you will find a beautiful white sandy beach. It’s really worth it to take a taxi and spend some time here for a few hours. Every now and then some vendors come by selling food and drinks, so you don’t even need to bring anything. Even in high season (I was there in the middle of July), it is not crowded at all. Relax!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip<\/strong> Bring a snorkel mask<\/a>. The water here is very clear, so snorkeling here is a lot of fun highly recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nVisit Museo Hist\u00f3rico Municipal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Trinidad has a number of museums worth visiting. I visited the Museo Hist\u00f3rico Municipal, a beautiful colonial building where you can see how the rich people used to live here. The highlight is the large tower that you can climb for a beautiful view of Trinidad and the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover Plaza Mayor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Plaza Mayor, the large central square in Trinidad, is an open-air museum in itself. Here you will see cobbled streets, beautiful pastel-colored houses, and many palm trees. There are a few benches, so bring a book and relax here for an hour or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go hiking in Topes de Collantes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Just north of Trinidad, you can find Parque Natural Topes de Collantes, a beautiful mountainous area full of caves and waterfalls. Exploring the beautiful hiking trails in this area is one of the best things to do in Trinidad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get to Parque Natural Topes de Collantes, you can take a taxi from Trinidad or join an organized tour. I’ve done both and found the organized tour to be more fun. With an organized tour, you can get further into the park than with a taxi (which drops you off in front of the entrance) and you also get a nice lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go dancing at La Casa de la M\u00fasica<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the best things to do in Trinidad is to immerse yourself in a Cuban party. In the evening, walk up the stairs towards the Casa de la M\u00fasica, which can be found on the right side of Plaza Mayor. Here you will find fun every night with Cuban live music and many cheap cocktails. A nice mix of tourists and Cubans, everyone is having a good time. It’s a big party as you can see in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
