Camagüey, in Cuba’s eastern half, is one of the island’s jewels. It is one of Cuba’s initial seven colonial communities, founded by Spanish colonists in the early 1500s, only a few years after Christopher Columbus first arrived in the New World. As a result, its UNESCO-listed meandering pastel-colored alleyways ooze history. At the same time, Camag...
Camagüey is often forgotten by tourists traveling through Cuba. It isn’t as colorful as Trinidad or as intriguing as Havana, and it lacks the big-ticket attractions that bring travelers. But it’s precisely this aspect that draws in visitors for a unique and entertaining visit. There’s now (in 2024) a direct bus from Trinidad to Camaguey, so you can...

Camaguey is well served on the Viazul Bus network. It’s on the route from Trinidad to Holguin and also on the Havana to Santiago de Cuba route. However, not all the bus times are great (Unless you like getting into a new city in the middle of the night!). You can read my guide to the Viazul Bus network here. By far the easiest way to visit Camaguey...
Camagüey is the easternmost, biggest, and flattest province in Cuba. The city of Camaguey is very different from other places that you’ll visit in Cuba. It’s completely non-touristy and you’ll get to experience a little normal life in this part of Cuba, the city of the tinajones! Camagüey is a beautiful spot to find calm and appreciate Camaguey’s f...
- Plaza del Carmen. Around 600m west of the frenzy of República sits another sublimely beautiful square, one less visited than the central plazas.
- Casa de Arte Jover. Camagüey is home to two of Cuba's most creative and prodigious contemporary painters, Joel Jover and his wife Ileana Sánchez.
- Museo Provincial Ignacio Agramonte. Named (like half of Camagüey) after the exalted local War of Independence hero, this cavernous museum, just north of the train station, is in a Spanish…
- Martha Jiménez Pérez. In Cuba's ceramics capital, the studio-gallery of Martha Jiménez Pérez shows the work of one of Cuba's greatest living artists.
- Get lost in the labyrinth. The historic center of Camagüey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008. The city was built in a medina style to keep away and confuse pirates, and try as you might to navigate a map, you will get hopelessly lost there.
- Visit the churches and squares. Camagüey is the perfect place for people’s watching. The many squares are perfect to sit and enjoy the world go by. You will see that it is a favorite local thing to do!
- Enjoy all the food. Many will tell you that food in Cuba isn’t that great, but I dissent. I ate nothing but delicious food during my trip, and it was the same in Camagüey.
- Then have a drink. Speaking of food, as an Italian I generally associate it with wine. This is why I can’t avoid mentioning La Cava, a super cool restaurant that actually has a wine cellar with a great wine selection for more than reasonable prices.
