Cienfuegos is an elegant seaside city on Cuba's southern coast, known as the Pearl of the South. Its wide avenues, grand buildings, and calm bay give it a graceful, breezy charm.
Visitors love Cienfuegos for its beautiful architecture and the pretty walkway that stretches out into the bay. Its UNESCO-listed center is one of the tidiest and most stylish towns in Cuba.
The city was designed with wide, straight streets and elegant buildings painted in soft colors. A famous blue-and-white palace by the bay looks almost like a fairy-tale castle.
Cienfuegos wraps around a large sheltered bay with gentle, calm water perfect for sailing. A long stone walkway lets you stroll right out over the sea.
Nearby you can visit one of the oldest botanical gardens in the Caribbean, full of tall palms and exotic plants. Colorful birds and butterflies flutter among thousands of different trees.
