Caribbean History & Culture Holidays

Introduction

As well as beach holidays and all-inclusive luxury retreats, the paradise islands of the Caribbean conceal a wealth of history and culture.

Barbados boasts Jacobean and Georgian buildings, Gothic churches and pirate castles; Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic is one of the oldest towns in the region;English Harbour in Antigua is the world's only Georgian dockyard; Jamaica is home to the banana capital of Port Antonio, plenty of plantations and Bob Marley; San Juan in Puerto Rico continues the traditions of a colonial town with an historic fort and mansions;

Alternatively travel to Cuba to wander amidst Old Havana or explore Trinidad, which qualifies as an historic site in its entirety. Elsewhwere explore Castillo El Morro, Camaguey, the Monumento Ernesto Che Guevara and Catedral de San Cristobal.

These are just a handful of the options available though. You can also tailor-make your history and culture holiday in the Caribbean by adding a city stay, beach holiday or excursion to your itinerary; talk to a destination specialist to see what we can do for you.
