Cuba's Unmissable Icons

This selection spans Cuba's complex history, from the 16th-century fortifications of Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro to the revolutionary landmarks of the Museum of the Revolution and Santa Clara’s Che Guevara Mausoleum. Architectural highlights include Havana’s Art Deco Bacardi Building and the marble-lined Paseo del Prado. The list also features the island's natural diversity, including the Zapata Peninsula’s wetlands and the white sands of Playa Ancón.
