At the main resorts there are mainly four- and five-star hotels, but there are also economy options - 2 - 3 * hotels.

Banks, money, exchange offices

The currency of Cuba is the Cuban peso, equal to 100 centavos. However, there are two types of local money: non-convertible peso - for domestic circulation and convertible, pegged to the US dollar, used for settlements with foreigners. All goods, services, transportation costs and airport taxes must be paid in convertible pesos. They also indicate price tags in tourist areas, but they can give you change in two types of pesos.

Tourist safety

Cuba is generally considered safe, however, as in any other country, it is recommended to adhere to basic safety rules:

  • It is advisable to store valuables, documents, money in a hotel safe
  • It is strictly forbidden to photograph military equipment, military personnel, industrial enterprises
  • Photograph local residents only with their permission
  • It is not recommended to walk around Old Havana after 10 pm - electricity may be cut off to save money
  • You can't give alms on the street - for Cubans this is fraught with prison
  • Smoking is prohibited in public places in Cuba
  • You have to be careful with the Cuban sun - it is very dangerous, you can get sunburned even in cloudy weather, so it is not recommended to go outside without applying sunscreen
  • It is prohibited to swim on unequipped beaches
  • It is recommended to drink only bottled water and eat only in government restaurants

Transport

The largest Cuban cities have international airports, transportation is carried out by major world airlines: Aeroflot, Lufthansa, British Airways", "Air France", "KLM" and others.

Domestic air travel is carried out by small aircraft and is relatively inexpensive.

Trains run between major cities in Cuba, but, like everything on Liberty Island, they have their own specifics. When traveling by train, be prepared for the fact that there is no clear timetable. Tickets for foreigners are 20 times more expensive than for the local population. The carriages are old, unequipped, “sit-down” (which may simply be occupied). Such trains can reach their final destination with a 20-hour delay.

Bus service has been developed between the cities, but traveling on a Cuban bus for a European tourist is more exotic than a necessity, since the bus fleet is very dilapidated, and they are operated by private trucks adapted for passenger transportation. If traveling by bus is a necessity, it is better to use the services of minibuses owned by the Astro and Visual companies.

Tourists are not recommended to use public transport for the same reason as the poor condition of the vehicle fleet. There are two types of city buses (“va-va”): “seated” - with a limited number of seats and regular ones, packed to capacity. The routes are not marked, there is no timetable at all.

In the city of Varadero you can travel by shuttles and tourist buses that cost 4 pesos or 1 euro. Moreover, having bought a ticket once, you can travel throughout the day, getting off the bus and getting back on.

If tourists need to travel around the city, it is better to use the services of a tourist taxi. The cars are equipped with air conditioning and radiotelephones; you can order a car by phone, payment is made only in dollars. Your safety will be ensured by operators who control the route of movement. There are also “private taxis” whose “price tag” is somewhat lower, but the quality of service is an order of magnitude worse than in state taxis.

For independent tourists, you can use car rental services. The conditions here are quite simple: rent is paid (55 - 60 dollars per day) and a deposit (up to 100 dollars). At the rental office you will also be asked for an international driver's license (at least 1 year of driving experience) and a passport (must be at least 21 years old). There are a wide variety of car classes, but the car you need is not always available. Traffic in Cuba is on the right, there are fewer cars on the roads than cyclists. The quality of the roads is not very good; there are no markings or signs at all. Tourist cars are identified by numbers, and the police are quite loyal to their violations of traffic rules (with the exception of Havana - here the rules are the same for everyone).

Hitchhiking is very popular in Cuba.

You can go on a sea voyage from the cities of Havana, Matanzas, Manzanillo, Santiago de Cuba, Mariel and Nuevitas, where the main Cuban ports are located. Maritime transport includes cruise ships and ships for traveling by water to other islands and continents.
