    Lieu et adresse

    Plaza Mayor is the historic heart of Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, situated in the town center. The plaza is surrounded by pastel-colored colonial buildings, museums, and the iconic Iglesia Parroquial de la Santísima Trinidad.

    Se rendre sur place

    Trinidad is accessible by bus or taxi from major cities like Havana or Cienfuegos. Once in town, the plaza is easily reached on foot, as most streets converge here. Horse-drawn carriages (coches) are a charming local transport option.

    Heures d'ouverture et billets

    The plaza itself is an open public space with no entrance fee. Surrounding museums and landmarks may have varying hours (typically 9:00 AM–5:00 PM) and small admission fees (around $1–$5 USD). Tickets are purchased on-site.
