Do not miss this place! Total heaven for music lovers. Small and intimate with different live bands starting at about 21:00. The place is a little out of the centre, but it makes for a very atmospheric walk there and back (even though the back- streets are dark and have lots of people hanging around they are completely safe: we walked to the venue and back on 3 consecutive nights and felt no threat whatsoever - quite the opposite- we loved It!). You have to pay 2 CUC to get in but it's really worth it, with good drinks service from friendly staff. The atmosphere was so wonderful with a good mixture of a few tourists and plenty of locals. If you want to dance, just do it! There are local male and female dancers to accompany you if you are by yourself or your partner is shy! This place was a highlight of our tour.

6. Diego Velazquez Museum

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom
The museum is in fact two houses joined together. At the front is the oldest house in Santiago de Cuba - some say in Cuba itself, constructed from 1516 to 1530 for the governor Diego Velazquez, with historic Mudejar-style interiors; it is then connected to a later house at the rear to create a substantial museum which displays Cuban furniture and decorative arts from the 16th century onwards, in rooms which have been sensitively restored. Definitely worth visiting both for the architecture and for the collections on display. There is also a furnace previously used to make gold ingots. from a time when the building was used as a 'House of Transactions'. The assistants are helpful in explaining things, though generally in Spanish.

An impressive fortress built to protect the entrance to the Santiago harbour that has been restored to its original splendour. Beyond a doubt it is a must see location when visiting the city.

They say that there is no musician in Cuba that did not play here. There is matinee at 6 PM and evening show at 9 PM. I've been both. Crazy place. Fantastic music and everybody dancing. I Could go there every evening. Right in the center of Santiago.
9. La Gran Piedra (The Big Rock)

Reviewed By Vallero - Deep River, Canada
The view from the top of La Gran Piedra is amazing, but more interesting is how the climate changes from tropical to pine forests as you ascend the mountain. All in all it is a beautiful location. In addition to the mountain itself there is a restored 18th century coffee plantation to visit and a spectacular botanical garden nearby. There are more than than 400 stairs from the parking area to the top of the rock. It is not a mountain climb but be prepared for a bit of exercise.
