Cuba is full of hidden gems, with unexpected surprises to be found around the most unlikely corners. Here are some of the top spots that even the locals don’t know about.
Roma, Old Havana
This fashionable rooftop bar plays host to some of the hottest electronic parties in the Cuban capital, and it’s smack bang in the middle of the historic old town. Head down to hang out with the trendy young crowd pushing the musical envelope in Havana.
Soroa Waterfalls, Pinar del Rio
Most people head straight past these beautiful falls on the way to Vinales from Havana. If you’re in a car, it’s worth the short detour to take a dip in the pools beneath the cascades. It’s a great spot for photos too.

Cuba Libro, Havana
Independent bookstores are a rarity in Havana, but Cuba Libro is the best one around. Part shop, part café, this charming space also acts as a lending library for locals, who use the international books to practice their language skills.
Café Literario, Vedado
This inviting spot in Vedado is a great place to meet friendly Cubans in a relaxed atmosphere. Some people come here to write, but most just come to hang out. Everyone has a good time.
