HOW TO "SURVIVE" IN CUBA

Here is a list of tips for a safe travel to Cuba:

- Beware of those who offer themselves as tour guides

You may know that local people could offer to guide you through the city, the bars and the most famous restaurants (especially in Havana).

Be aware that you may have to pay both for cocktails and lunch and at the end of the tour you will have to pay a fee.

Moreover, we advise you to clarify the compensation required before accepting any proposal.

- Book your casa particular before leaving

If you are looking for a casa particular, pretend you already have a reservation, as you will often find people who will follow you and declare they have accompanied you directly to the house. In this case you could pay a surcharge.

So if you are planning to travel to Cuba, we recommend that you book the private houses before your departure.

- Cuban Taxis: pay attention to the price

If you want to move by taxi or bicycle, be careful to immediately clarify the actual fare, as often the price initially set could turn out to be per person and not total.

- Beware of Changes in Cuban Pesos

Be careful with the remains since it can happen that by paying in CUC you will receive the rest in Cuban pesos.

- Buy Cuban cigars only in stores

If you want original Cuban cigars, remember to buy them only in authorized stores or factories. Local people will offer several cigars, but often they are not original or are made with banana leaves.

Of course, Cuba is much more than this! It's fun, history, culture and tradition, and now that you have all the information you need to travel safely to Cuba, you'll avoid unpleasant moments.
