The capital of Matanzas in the province of the same name is also called the “Athens of Cuba” because of its artistic traditions and classicist Theatre.

What Country is Matanzas in?

Matanzas is a quiet place compared to the almost hectic hustle and bustle in Havana, just 100 kilometers away, with its debauched nightlife. If you are in Havana and are looking for a few days of rest and relaxation and have perhaps already seen enough of the country life in Viñales, Soroa and Las Terrazas on his Cuba Tour, you are in Matanzas. Another advantage of the city is its proximity to the beaches in Varadero, which can be reached by car in less than an hour.
