Some Good Tips Before You Travel To Cuba.

In this piece of writing you can come across answers to some of the questions you have regarding your Cuba holidays. Along many years I have been given suggestion to customers wanting to visit Cuba so I decided to recap some of them. I hope you find them helpful.

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.
