"Holguin, known as the 'City of Parks,' is Cuba's fourth largest city. Set among mountainous territory in the eastern part of the island, the scenic city offers travelers the perfect combination of cultural attractions and comfortable resorts. The city's elegant plazas, colonial buildings and museums offer an authentic look back into Cuba's history. Travelers looking to break a sweat can make the 860-foot trek up the Hill of the Cross, which offers breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding landscape. Regular visitors to the area recommend booking a guided tour or hiring a car to fully experience the city and its culture."
