Santa Clara Travel Guide

Cuba

Santa Clara is a city of 250,512 people in central Cuba. It is inland, so it is better suited to travellers using it as a base for exploring the region than to those looking for a beach stay.

Most visitors arrive through Abel Santamaria Airport, also known as SNU, which serves the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Santa Clara, so plan a separate journey if the coast is a priority.
