Trinidad
Cuba's most perfectly preserved colonial city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site frozen in the 18th century — a city of cobblestone streets, pastel mansions, and iron balconies that made its fortune in sugar. The Plaza Mayor, the rooftop views over red tiled rooflines to the Caribbean, the live salsa at Casa de la Música on the steps, and the nearby Valle de los Ingenios sugar mill ruins make Trinidad unmissable.
