Cienfuegos Vacations

Arguably the greatest attraction of Cienfuegos vacations is the relaxed pace that allows tourists to absorb all of the wonderful scenery and sunshine in this relatively quiet Cuban destination. As well as the many fine examples of neoclassical architecture, the views over the bay inspire a quiet serenity that is unique for a Cuban city. Beautiful local parks and scenery encourage long walks, allowing tourists to escape the hectic pace of most urban living. However, there are more discoveries to be made beneath the coastal waters – this is an excellent destination for scuba divers and snorkelers. Over 50 excellent diving sites are accessible from Cienfuegos, including Notre Dame, a well-known coral formation that towers to 11 feet in height, resembling the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Although there are other attractions worth exploring on an all-inclusive Cienfuegos vacation, options for dining, shopping, and nightlife are limited. Cienfuegos vacations offer great value for those who can appreciate the great history, architecture, and relaxed environment of this unique Cuban destination.

Attractions: All-inclusive Cienfuegos vacations offer tourists an opportunity to explore a unique side of Cuba. Originally settled by the Spanish, Cienfuegos features both French and Spanish architecture, with some well-preserved buildings in the downtown area dating back to 1819.  Remarkable Neoclassical structures mixed with Creole architecture, unlike anything that can be found in any other Caribbean destination, make Cienfuegos vacations a great option for the architecture enthusiast. The Thomás Terry Theatre, where prestigious international performers have shared their art, is not to be missed, along with La Reian Cemetery and Paseo del Prado.

The nearby Bahia de Cienfuegos features the Castillo de Jagua, a castle that stands at the entrance to the bay, designed to defend against pirates in the mid-18th century. The castle can be accessed by ferry from the east shore, and is a popular attraction with most all-inclusive Cienfuegos package holiday tourists. Cienfuegos, one of the main seaports in Cuba, is a major hub supporting Cuba's sugar, coffee and tobacco trade. Named the Southern Pearl by French settlers due to its situation on the shores of Jagua Bay, like a pearl on an oyster shell, Cienfuegos also features beautiful beaches that may also have inspired the name.
