Travel Cuba: Slowly Opening, Still Fascinating
Article review by Lassi Pensikkala, travel expert
Cuba continues to be one of the most intriguing destinations in the Caribbean — not because it tries to compete with mass-tourism giants, but because it offers something rare: authenticity, history, music, and human warmth that you don’t find easily elsewhere.
The Euronews article highlights how Cuba has been attracting growing international attention and positioning itself more clearly on the global tourism map. Rather than focusing on numbers, Cuba’s strength lies in experience: walking through colonial streets where time feels paused, listening to live music in small plazas, talking with locals who are curious about the world — and about you.
Cuba is not a destination you “consume.” It’s a place you live for a while.
What makes Cuba special is the mix of contrasts: classic American cars next to Spanish colonial buildings, Afro-Caribbean rhythms blended with European traditions, rural tobacco fields not far from lively coastal towns. For travelers who value culture, conversation, and atmosphere more than luxury, Cuba is deeply rewarding.
International interest in Cuba has been slowly growing again. The country is reopening step by step, adapting to new travel realities, and welcoming visitors with a focus on culture, heritage, and nature. This gradual opening means travelers can experience Cuba in a more personal way — before it becomes fully mass-market.
What to See in Cuba
Some experiences define a first journey to Cuba:
- Old Havana – UNESCO World Heritage streets, colorful balconies, music in the air.
- Viñales Valley – Tobacco farms, limestone hills, rural life at its most authentic.
- Trinidad – A colonial jewel with cobblestone streets and vibrant nightlife.
- Varadero & Cayo Coco – White-sand beaches and turquoise Caribbean waters.
- Santiago de Cuba – The soul of Cuban music and Afro-Caribbean culture.
Each region has its own rhythm — and discovering those differences is part of the magic.
