Day 1: Arrival in Havana—Let the Rhythm Welcome You

One more day begins for you in the vibrant city of Havana, Cuba. As you fly into Cuba, settle yourself in a hotel of colonial style in Old Havana (Habana Vieja), or go modern in Vedado if that is more your taste.

Attractions include the following:

• Walk down Malecón, the waterfront boulevard.
• Enjoy a welcome mojito at La Bodeguita del Medio, Hemingway's favourite bar.
• Bail in Plaza Vieja under the stars to dance to a live salsa band.

Tonight should be about simple living, for this is Cuba, where time does not move fast.

Day 2: Discover the Soul of Havana

Awaken to the aroma of Cuban coffee and immerse yourself in an exciting day of discovery in this city frozen in time. 

The Must-Do:

• Go on a guided vintage car tour of Havana. 
• Stop at Museo de la Revolución for insights into Cuba's troubled past. 
• Appreciate art at the Fábrica de Arte Cubano, an alternative cultural center. 

Dinner should be on a rooftop with a view of the city in all its charming, crumbling awfulness—a side of Cuba that makes it a must-see for any all-inclusive holidays in Cuba or not.

Day 3: Viñales Valley—Nature and Tobacco Trails

Viñales Valley is famous for its picturesque limestone cliffs interspersed with tobacco fields and afterglow.

Highlights: 

• Horseback ride through the mogotes and plantations. 
• Explore a tobacco plantation and witness the manufacture of the world-famous Cuban cigars. 
• Drink freshly squeezed sugarcane juice sold from roadside stalls. 

Spend the night in a safe and cosy casa, Cuba's very own B&B, to enjoy more of daily life outside the tourist route.

Day 4: Cienfuegos—The Pearl of the South

By moving southwards, you shall arrive in Cienfuegos, aptly termed "The Pearl of the South". This tranquil coastal city inspires exhilaration when one walks within its shores.

Attractions: 

• Parque José Martí—the downtown centre, with colonial buildings. 
• Palacio de Valle A former mansion turned restaurant/bar. 
• Walk along the Punta Gorda peninsula and enjoy the sea views while taking time to relax. 

Cienfuegos here mostly goes with historic holidays in Cuba but also blends this with a slower, more relaxed, and possibly intimate experience.

Day 5: Trinidad—A Step Back in Time

The colonial town that has somehow survived ages with its cobbled roads, pastel buildings painted inside and out to perfection with whitewashed lintels, and a soul.

Must go:

• Make a trip through Plaza Mayor, the Museum of Life.
• Visit Museo Romántico or visit Museo Nacional de la Lucha Contra Bandidos.
• Catch live music at Casa de la Musica, a staircase-turned-concert spot.

Pair your culture fix with a short hop to Playa Ancón, one of the finest beaches on the southern coast, where you can easily get into the water before making your way back to town.

Day 6: Varadero—Beach Bliss Begins

Now, it's time to enjoy that relaxing part of your Cuba holiday. Either drive or take a quick domestic flight to Varadero, Cuba's most famous beach resort area. Here is where Cuba's all-inclusive holidays gleam: high-gloss resorts, miles of white sand, and Caribbean sunsets that'll linger in your memory.

Options for relaxation:

• Book an all-inclusive beachfront resort—cocktails, a view of the ocean, and spa treatments. 
• Go snorkelling or diving at Coral Beach. 
• Take a catamaran cruise or drift on the turquoise waters.

Here you'll see that cheap holidays in Cuba do not mean that paradise was compromised—the value for money will simply amaze you.

Day 7: Farewell Cuba—With Music in Your Soul

The last treasures of sunshine and ocean breeze before going back to Havana for your return flight. Depending on your flight schedule, you may do some last-minute souvenir shopping and even stop to eat one last plate of ropa vieja (Cuba's national shredded beef dish). Saying goodbye will entail taking away more than just souvenirs, for you shall take away with you the warmth of the people, the rhythm of the music, and the tranquillity that comes with really letting go.
