Health service in Cuba is free but not for tourists so make sure you are properly insured before you travel to Cuba otherwise you will have to fork out a good amount of money from your own pocket if you require medical attention. I have to add that the health service in Cuba is of a very high standard.

The best government owned restaurants are La Bodeguita del Medio, El Floridita, El Aljibe, Los Nardos, El Template, La Domenica, La Mina, El Patio and Mediterraneo this last restaurant is located on the lobby of Parque Central Hotel and it serves gourmet food.

Try not to wear expensive jewellery while walking the streets, especially in Havana. The crime in Cuba is very low but there are rare cases of pick pocketing and some other minor crimes.

Avoid haggling with taxi drivers. All official taxis in Cuba have a taxi metre and you will be surprised how cheap a taxi is. If you instead ask a taxi driver how much is in advance most chances are you are going to be over charged. Just make sure the taxi driver uses the taxi metre.

If you are thinking of buying cigars get them from a government shop their quality is supreme but they are a bit expensive. Prices are from 100.00 CUC to 400.00 CUC for a box of 25 cigars. If you buy them in the black market you can find the same boxes fro 25.00 CUC to 100 CUC but most of them are cigars rejected by the quality control of the factories.

If you want a ride in an old American car there is a Company called Grand Car with a fleet of about 50 cars that you can hire with a driver per hour. This is a very good way to do sight seeing in Havana.

The best night clubs are Casa de La Musica de Centro Habana, Salon Rojo Capri Hotel, Casa de La Musica de Miramar, Jazz Caf, La Zorra y El Cuevo, El Turquino in Habana Libre Hotel and Habana Caf in Cohiba Hotel.

The best Cuban rum is Habana Club and there is no point in trying to safe some money buying from the black market as the bottles are very cheap on the government run stores. Prices are from 4.00 CUC to 10.00 CUC per bottle.

You can find hotels for as cheap as $14.00 per person per night in Cuba. As I mentioned before there are not many of these hotels and because they are so cheap they are fully booked all year round. You can find more info on cheap hotels in Cuba on http://www.qassia.com/the-cheapest-hotels-in-havana.

If you are traveling to Cuba on a tight budget then why not to take advantage of the excellent prices that Casas Particulares in Cuba offer. Casas Particulares is the term used locally for Private Rentals in Cuba. These properties have a special license from the government which allows them to accommodate Tourist.

There are few things you need to know though. The Cuban government is very strict when it comes to landlords that rent their houses and there are a number of conditions and limitations that you should be aware of before you decide to go for this kind of accommodation.

Home owners in Cuba that rent their houses follow the government restrictions. The risk of loosing your property or your license is too high. It is very difficult to find a house her you can stay on your own but there are ways. Visit Private Villa Rentals in Cuba if you require further advice.

What I a trying to make you understand here is that you have to be willing to stay with a Cuban family and share its dinning room, balconies, porches and chat to them. If you want total independence you might not be able to find it on a Casa particular.

You might be able to find few apartments in Havana whose landlords will be willing to rent out the whole place for yourself. In this case you will not have to share with a Cuban family although I strongly recommend doing so. I am not going to list the name of this houses or apartments in Havana in this article for obvious reasons. I will list though few websites that are devoted to promote private accommodation in Cuba and throw their webmasters or reservation consultants you can find the answer to your particular queries.

If you are more into cultural package holidays to Cuba then why not visit Havana. Without a shadow of doubt the capital of Cuba will keep you very busy visiting museums, cigar factories, monuments, beautiful squares and cafes.

If you are looking for shopping holidays then Cuba is perhaps not the best destination although there will be a number of hand craft markets available on each an every location in Cuba. Tobacco, rum and coffee are the most popular souvenirs tourists buy in Cuba. Black coral jewellery is also very demanded.

The appeal of its flora and fauna add up to the pleasant appearance of the district, and for sure is the land of the most excellent tobacco in the Planet. Pinar del Rio is a targeted holiday destination in Cuba for those looking for direct contact with Mother Nature.

Near to the city and in traffic to the Viales Valley, the Aguas Claras Villa stands out for its distinctive features and it is lifted in the lands of an old and beautiful property in the tropical countryside.

This land is an important artists’ cradle. Illustrious son of this county was Cirilo Villaverde, author of the most important Cuban novel in the XIX century, “Cecilia Valdes”, considered one of the great Cuban writers of all times. The music and the plastic arts, on the other hand, have big exponents like the composer Pedro Rush; author of the well-known piece “Nosotros” and the contemporary painter Pedro Pablo Oliva.

The most common festivity in the area is the so called guateque, rural party that is always taking place around pig being roasted in spike. During the celebration participants sing songs and recite poetry something that people from Pinar del Rio are very famous for.

If you want to visit Pinar del Rio in your holidays in Cuba, you can fly to Havana and then take a transfer to this area. It is located at about 160 kms far from Havana and it takes about 2 hours by road. There are no international or domestic airports in this province so flying directly is not an option. There is although the chance to arrive by boat to the Marinas located in Cayo Levisa and Maria La Gorda.

The most famous and I would also say most beautiful part of Pinar del Rio is Viales Valley. This place has the most amazing mountain formations and most colorful valleys in Cuba. There are few accommodation facilities in the area precisely for not to spoil the natural environment. Among the best are Los Jasmines Hotel, La Ermita and Rancho San Vicente Cottages.

I will always recommend a visit to Pinar del Rio province, especially if you are the kind of tourist that likes to get to know the real country. I would say that including in your holidays to Cuba a stay in this territory will definitely be the high light of your holiday experience in Cuba.
