Lazy days on the beach are the perfect way to relax after taking in the delights of the World Heritage-protected cobbled streets in the town. You can walk for miles along the white sands and can always find a peaceful spot away from the crowd.
Stroll the streets of the old town, admiring the brightly painted houses with the wrought-iron bars which cover the windows.
Spend an evening dancing to a band and drinking rum with the locals on the steps leading to the Casa de la Musica. The whole town comes out for this evening ritual, and it's a great way to meet people, whether locals or fellow travellers.${QuickSuggestions} Riding is always on offer in Trinidad. If you know you'll be riding, then think about bringing your own hat, and look carefully at your insurance. Hats are rarely provided, and the people offering riding have no insurance.${BestWay} The town's streets are negotiated easily on foot. If you're off to something out of town, head to the Cubatur Offices in the centre of town - the taxi rank is here, and this is the place to meet other travellers looking to share the cost of a taxi to the beach or to the mountains. Four people sharing a car to the beach should pay around 2 convertible pesos each. You can also take a Coco taxi to the beach, but this takes an extra 10 minutes.
On small local buses, you should be paying in Cuban pesos but may be asked to pay in convertibles - stand your ground. You are entitled to pay in Cuban pesos if you wish.
