Useful information

Welcome to Cuba, an enchanting destination in the heart of the Caribbean!
Cuba has a lot to offer:
Cultural diversity: Cuba is a true cultural gem, where music, dance and art are ever-present. You'll marvel at the intoxicating rhythms of salsa and sound, as well as the vibrant colours that adorn the streets and historic buildings.
Breathtaking scenery: the island is packed with spectacular scenery, from white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters to lush green valleys and the majestic Sierra Maestra mountains.
Warm hospitality: Cubans are renowned for their hospitality and their friendly nature. You'll be welcomed with open arms and will soon feel right at home.
Historical heritage: Cuba has a rich history, visible in its well-preserved colonial cities, such as Havana and Trinidad, which are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
However, some of the features of this superb destination may come as a surprise to uninformed travellers:
Quality of food: Although Cuban cuisine is tasty and unique, the availability of some ingredients may be limited and the variety of dishes can be limited too. We recommend keeping an open mind and sampling the local specialities.

The island's hotel minibars are stocked on demand, guaranteeing a personalised experience for every guest. Please note that some drinks may be out of stock.
Quality of infrastructure: The quality of accommodation in Cuba varies widely and is far from European standards, particularly in less tourism-focused areas. Some regions also lack modern infrastructure, which can be disconcerting for travellers accustomed to the comforts of developed countries.
Internet access: Internet connectivity in Cuba can be limited and unreliable. Travellers should be prepared to partially disconnect during their stay.
With these elements in mind, Cuba offers a unique and memorable travel experience. Take the time to immerse yourself in the culture, discover its hidden treasures, and enjoy the human warmth that characterises this enchanting island.

Have a good trip!
