José Martí Park, the central square of Cienfuegos, is a highly accessible and free-to-enter public space, easily explored independently, though a local guide can enhance the historical understanding of its surrounding UNESCO-listed architecture. There are no seasonal restrictions, making it enjoyable year-round, particularly in the cooler morning or evening hours, and a typical visit lasts between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. As a vibrant hub of local life, it's perfect for people-watching, relaxing, and admiring landmarks like the Triumphal Arch and the Martí statue, along with the adjacent Tomás Terry Theatre and Cathedral.
