Things to do in Varadero

Varadero is perhaps Cuba's most recognized resort destination for travelers looking to relax on paradise-like beaches or to float in clear turquoise waters. A strip of land jutting into the Caribbean Sea, Varadero offers a variety of exciting year-round water sport activities such as sailing, kitesurfing, snorkeling, fishing, boat trips and much more. With thousands of tourists every year, Varadero is well-equipped to handle its visitors. Although Varadero may be missing the rich Cuban history and culture offered in other cities such as Havana or Santiago de Cuba, it offers nonetheless a good selection of museums, art galleries, markets and cafés to fulfill your cultural interests after soaking up the sun for a few days at the beach.
