The historic centre of Camaguey is the largest in Cuba. There are several museums, including
- Museo Provincial Ignacio Agramonte.
- Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Soledad.
- Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Merced.
You can climb the tower at the Cathedral de Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria off of Plaza San Juan de Dios.
The park Casino Campestre just over the river is Cuba's largest urban park and has plenty of shade.
The local market is on the banks of the Rio Hatibonico at the south end of the historic centre.
