Tips for your Cuba Holidays.
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.
The best museums in Havana are The Museum of the Revolution (former Presidential Palace), The Capitolio (former seat of The Chamber of Representatives and Senate), The Museum of The City (Government Palace and Town Hall in the colonial times) and the museum of Belle Arts.
Leave all your important documents in the safe box of your hotel room. Most hotels in Cuba offer this service included in the room price and a very few will charge extra 2.00 CUC per night for the use of the safe box. Keep your passport there as there is no need to carry them while in the streets.
Bring lots of repellent for mosquitoes. It could be very annoying especially in beach resorts like Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Levisa, Cayo Las Brujas, Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo, Guardalavaca and Varadero. It is not likely to find mosquitoes in the cities.
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.
Try to avoid taking a non official taxi in Cuba. It is not as safe as taking an official one. It is very easy to tell the difference between them both. The official taxis are new modern cars with the company name written everywhere and the none-official ones are mainly Ladas, Moskvich and old American cars.
If you want to book a sight seeing trip around Havana the best tour guides are employed by San Cristobal Company. These tours can be organized collective or privately. You can even have a horse and carriage ride along the old streets of Havana Vieja (Old Town).
If you want to visit Tropicana Cabaret in Havana try to book well in advance this place although is huge it is always fully booked. The tickets are expensive but the show is worth every penny of your money.
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.
