Havana
One of the largest and most vibrant cities in the Caribbean
Pinar del RÃo and the west
Pinar del RÃo is arguably Cubaâ€™s most beautiful province.
Trinidad and the center
Cienfuegos is a prosperous modern city built around a fine harbor at the foot of the Escambray Mountains.
Santiago de Cuba and the east
CamagÃ¼ey is one of the more heavily promoted towns of the island. Its attractions include a number of churches and museums and a thriving (and very photogenic) peso market.
My husband is Cuban from the Cienfuegos area, so I would definitely say Cienfuegos !!!

Havana is the largest and a must see as it has some of the best (music, dancing, sights, etc..) but also some of the worst (pollution, hustlers, etc..) that Cuba has to offer. As a tourist, most of your time will likely be in Havana Vieja which is touristy but for a good reason. The night life is quite good but spread out so you will have to take a taxi if you want to hit some of the more popular discos in Miramar and surrounding areas.

IMO and many other travelers, Trinidad is without a doubt the best town in Cuba. It's like being in a western movie set with its well preserved architecture. There is a beach only 20 minutes away by bus, horseback riding into the mountains, and excellent music and dancing at night (Casa de la Musica, Discoteca Ayala, etc..)

Santiago is a bustling town with many important sites. A little rough on the edges and bustling, worth a visit for a couple days but not much more.

Baracoa is a very charming and quiet coastal town. It's small size and tranquil nature makes it a good place to relax.

Vinales is a little village in the mountains out west. A definite must see for the unique geography alone, where you will find Karst mountains dotting the landscape.

Baracoa, on the eastern tip of Cuba. It is lively, small, and has a local history, with a beautiful beach setting surrounded by coastal mountains.
