Santiago de Cuba Attractions

 
Santiago de Cuba is the second largest city in Cuba and a historical and cultural treasure. With many different cultural influences and an Afro-Caribbean heritage, Santiago de Cuba is often said to be the most Caribbean city in the country. These differences can be seen in many different aspects of life in the city, not least of which is the music. The city also celebrates a large number of festivals, particularly during the summer months, some of which are not celebrated in other parts of the country.

Santiago de Cuba has numerous old colonial buildings in the city center but also has a variety of more modern style architecture.
