HOMEKuba gehört sicherlich zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsländern. Weil es eine ganz eigene Seele hat, so unverwechselbar und eigen ist, wie kaum ein anderes Land. Und weil es wunderschön ist. Hier sind meine ganz persönlichen Highlights auf Kuba, die auf keiner Reise fehlen sollten.
Eines der Dinge, die Kuba so unverwechselbar machen sind die Oldtimer und natürlich Che. Diesen beiden „Sehenswürdigkeiten“ kann man auf Kuba nicht entkommen. Auch wenn eine Fahrt in einem Oldtimer und der Besuch des Che Guevara Memorial in Santa Clara nicht unbedingt zu meinen angenehmsten Erfahrungen zählen, gehört beides doch zu jeder Kuba Reise.
Havanna, Kubas Hauptstadt, hat einen ganz eigenen Rhythmus und ist so bunt wie ihre Fassaden charmant abgeblättert sind.
Das Floridita ist sicherlich Havannas bekannteste Bar, ihren Charme hat Ernest Hemingways frühere Lieblingskneipe noch nicht ganz verloren, auch wenn die Touristenströme und die Klimaanlage ihr Bestes dafür tun.
Sancti Spiritus hat mir am Besten gefallen, weil es noch ursprünglicher ist, als andere kubanische Städte, die Menschen sehr viel freundlicher sind als in Santa Clara oder Havanna und man kaum einem anderen Touristen hier begegnet.
Die Menschen auf Kuba tragen den Rhythmus im Blut und ihre Herzen auf der Hand. Manchmal auch Zitronen.
Wer auf das Karibik Feeling nicht verzichten möchte, dem empfehle ich einen Trip nach Cayo Largo, eine Insel im Süden Kubas. Hier findet man schneeweiße Strände und Palmen wie aus der Werbung. Und die beste Pina Colada, die ich je getrunken habe.

Great photos! You captured it well, I think. I’d really love to go there myself someday!
thank you Amanda! Cuba is definitely a must go place 😀
One of my favorite places too – your photos are great, really capture my memories of Cuba
A place I definitely plan to visit. Great photos!
Thank you Stephanie, if you need any more tips, please let me know.
Would love to visit Cuba. Love your colorful, vibrant photos. They really seem to capture the Cuba that I’ve always imagined.
Thank you Cathy. Cuba is definitely a place where you’ll find what you imagined…
And for a really great travel guidebook for Cuba I highly recommend My Seductive Cuba by Chen Lizra. She is a dancer and really knows the cultural scene.
Thanks for the tip Leigh, will check it out!
I love the photos of the people – they really bring the place to life. I can’t wait to visit there one day.
Love the portraits!
Thank you Sophie. The story behind the picture of the woman is actually very interesting. I was walking through Trinidad when this woman came to me and asked me if she can have my bra. yes, my bra. Cubans often don’t have the possibilty to buy stuff like bras, tights or even lighter and pens, so they often ask tourists for stuff like this. I didn’t gave her my bra in the end but some other stuff and asked her if I could take her picture. She was very friendly and even invited me for dinner in her house, but sadly I had to catch a bus.
You’ve just further stocked my desire to go to Cuba. Oh my goodness–that beach! Looks like a Hollywood version of the perfect beach.
Haha, yes this beach is amazing. And I had the best Pina Colada in my life at this beach… 😀
Cayo Largo is beautiful! I bet those sands are softer and smoother that what the photo shows which makes it even better! Cuba looks certainly looks like a wonderful place.
Yes, it is Alexa. 😀 but it’s really difficult to walk through those sands because they are so soft and smooth 😀
Beautiful photos! Cuba is on my must-visit list. I love how you really captured the emotion and the joy of people in the pictures. Says a lot about the spirit of the place.
Thank you Ellen. The spirit of the Cubans is definitely one reason everyone really should visit this place.
Wonderful pictures! Perfect for a cold day here in Calgary!
Thanks Claire, that was also my inspiration for this post. Was sitting here in cold Berlin and daydreaming about my trip to Cuba… 😀
Would love to go to Cuba… and also get my hands on some of those 1950’s American cars.
Oh yes Don, these cars are breathtaking!
Just a few weeks away from heading to Cuba (Havana & Cayo Largo) and this post has just made me even more excited!
That’s fantastic Iain! If you need more tips just let me know! 😀
Fantastic photos – I would love to visit Cuba!
So colorful! I love these photos!
Lovely photos! I love all the colour – it’s exactly what I think of when I think of Cuba! Love that first pic of the red car with Che in the background.
Wonderful photography – really bring back my rich memories of travel in Cuba!
Wow, this makes me want to go even more than I did before! The colours in these pics are amazing.
Thank you Aisleen, Cuba is definitely a place everyone should visit. 😀
This is such a happy post. I really have to get myself to Cuba. I love the photo of the car with the picture of Che in the back ground. Nice work!
Thank you! That’s also my fav Cuba picture! 😀
