Although it does not enjoy the fame of other important Cuban tourist centres, Villa Clara does offer visitors an abundance of interesting historical and cultural sites that have become an acclaimed destination for foreigners who come to the country on business trips, or to participate in conferences and congresses, or simply attracted by the natural beauty or to better know Cuba and its people.

Besides the plaza and monument to the guerrilla commander Ernest Che Guevara, without doubt the most important attraction in central Cuba, highlights of the capital city include the Museum of the Battle of Santa Clara – liberated through the forces of Che Guevara against the president Batista - , the Vidal Park and various surrounding buildings, such as the Teatro de la Caridad, the hotel Santa Clara Libre and the Museum of Decorative Arts. On its periphery the hotel Los Caneyes, an imitation of a native village, and the Villa La Granjita are important centers of tourism.
