The Museum of Colonial Architecture on the east side of the main square has examples of woodwork, ironwork, stained glass and other items culled from colonial houses. Museum also offers guided tours through the historic streets of Trinidad.

Canchánchara is one of the oldest buildings in Trinidad, and combined architectural styles from the 18th and 20th centuries. There's frequently a live band playing in the shady patio, and there are always plenty of soft drinks, cold beer, and such Cuban cocktails as the mojito and the local specialty canchánchara (rum, lime juice, and honey) that will give you the energy to dance and enjoy the Cuban rhythms found in the place.

It is often said that Playa Ancon De Trinidad is the best beach in the south of the island. This postcard-perfect beach has fine white sands and crystal clear turquoise waters. Anyone staying in one of the many private houses in Trinidad should not miss this beautiful Caribbean coastline, all at just 12 km from Trinidad. 

The Valle de los Ingenios, declared World Heritage since 1988, is located about 12 km outside of Trinidad and has been around since the 17th century.  This fertile agricultural land was cultivated and developed into one of the major sugar producing areas of Cuba, helping Trinidad to become one of the richest cities on the Caribbean island. At the top of the "Torre Manacas-Iznaga" (built at the beginning of the 19th century), you can get an overview of the valley. This 45 meter-high structure is equipped with a bell tower that was used to oversee the thousands of slaves working on the sugar plantations.
