⚠️ Wichtige Reisetipps Cuba
Bring Your Entire Budget in Cash
Assume your cards will not work (especially if from the US). Bring crisp, untorn USD or EUR and exchange them with your Casa Particular host at the informal street rate, not the official bank rate.
Stay in Casas Particulares
Avoid massive, rundown state-owned hotels. Book Casas Particulares (via Airbnb or local booking sites) to interact with locals and eat the best home-cooked food in the country.
Download Maps.me Offline Maps
Internet is spotty to non-existent on the road. Download Maps.me (which is far more accurate in Cuba than Google Maps) and the entire map of Cuba before you arrive.
Negotiate Taxis Firmly
Before getting into any classic car or yellow taxi, state your destination and negotiate the price hard. There are no working meters.
🛡️ Empfohlene Reiseversicherung
Get travel insurance for peace of mind.
