Cuba Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Cuba is known as the "Pearl of Caribbean". In addition to its appealing natural landscape, it also has a well-preserved human landscape. The ancient Spanish buildings on the streets are well-preserved for historical reasons. You'll also see wide range of classic cars throughout the country, creating a unique scene.

Cuban capital Havana, the story of the long story mention Cuba Havana, probably from a cup of free Cuba to start the story! This country has carried a lot of helplessness, and it has been a luxury for all of them to be exchanged by the US economy for decades. Reviewing the photos in the camera, I can finally understand their greed and blackmail forced by reality, helplessness and desire for life and reality! Let go of the classic car, cigar, and the five-point tavern in the eyes of Hemingway. I wonder, what is left in Havana? The desire for music, staying in the disc era, using the simplest instruments to slowly create music that belongs to them. A classic car inherits the hope of three generations, most of which are more than 60 years old. Filled with gasoline smell and uninterrupted repairs, if they can, they are willing to drive a new car to enjoy a brand new engine, fresh air conditioning atmosphere dilapidated house, no choice of salary, lack of material, these, etc. It is the most authentic look of Havana!

Havana, a fascinating city, plus street painters, is more literary. Havana The old town is small in size, mainly in various street corners and leisurely shops and four major square areas. The four major squares are the Old Square, the San Francisco Square, the Arms Square and the Church Square. They are connected to each other and close to the port terminal. You can take a look at the port and watch the Momo Castle and the craft market. Simply play in the old town for 1 full day.

A woman smoking a cigar, a man driving a classic car. Will there be a Cuban image in your mind? The final trip to North America is in Cuba, but I dont forget this place in Cuba. The day before I left, I wanted to remember everything in Havana, the capital of Cuba. In my own mind. Cigar rum, Cuba, let me see you again. In the old city, you can see a lot of old or old ladies wearing very bright or very distinctive cigars. Be careful not to take pictures at random, you have to collect money.

Varadero! Stunning sea view! I could lie down for a day! The information about this Varadero beach shared is very useful:

It takes 3 hours by bus from Havana to Varadero, it's more convenient to book on the Viazul website Renting a sun lounger and umbrella on the beach is very cheap, only about 10 dollars for 8 hours, it's just a lie down to the beach The beach environment around Calle 41 is more quiet and fresh Marina Marlin Chapelin can rent a yacht for sea fishing, 4 people Capacity, the price is reasonable Restaurant recommendation: Restaurante snack bar Vernissage has the most authentic beef; La Barbacoa lobster is very interesting The pace of life of the locals in Varadero is slower, it's completely suitable for a beach vacation here 2 days time can basically enjoy the beach scenery, more days might be boring Overall, the beauty of this beach is quite stunning, renting a sun lounger is completely enough, the transportation is also convenient and fast, it's a place worth recommending for a trip to Cuba.

Havana good time in Cuba

#celebratewithtrip Taking about cigars or mojito you will think of Cuba. As Cuba produce rum and hence Mojito is their traditional drink. And every where you can find cigars ranging from dirt cheap price to high end . Interesting fact on Cuba is that all American travelers must have a travel license. Other highlight in Cuba is there a lot of of old cars from the 40s and 50s . one of the moment of the trip is have a tour on a classic open top Chevrolet . But there is one thing bad about Cuba as internet is very expensive and hence there is not public wifi and even if you stay in a hotel you will have to pay high price for internet access. #tripblazers #fallingforfall

classic car tour

Nice activity to do while in Cuba, enjoying this classic car while exploring the city.

Old Havana, amazing but bring cash with you !

Had a great time in Havana, it’s like steeping back in time with all the old cars and buildings The people and the music are amazing and it is surprisingly very safe Bring as much cash as you can as Mastercard doesn’t work in Cuba or any bank that has afflictions with America, also when removing from the ATM you get a very low exchange rate vs changing currency plus have to wait in long lines We made the mistake of trying to fly back into America from Cuba, this is only an option if you are a US citizen. We went to fly out only to be told we could not board the plane. Then lost all connecting flights … very frustrating We had to re book flights, Into Mexico and then fly from there, which you also can’t do over the internet from Cuba, we had to get friends to do it for us alternatively you can to go the airport and pay with cash… if you have enough left at the end of your trip in Cuba

Havana | Lobster Fisherman on the Malecon

Lobster fishermen on Havana's seaside boulevard. They stand still against the stone wall, one hand holding the bunched fishing line, the other slowly releasing the line into the water. Despite their rough appearance, the fishermen's hands manipulating the fishing line are extremely elegant and dexterous, like the famous ballet dancers of Havana. Beside the fishermen lie several sea fish, which serve as bait for lobsters. Compared to lobsters, the value of sea fish in the market is too low, so individual fishermen usually only use them as lobster bait or for their family's dinner. Tourists have a great demand for lobsters, and a freshly caught live lobster is a hard currency, with a restaurant purchase price of up to five US dollars. This is a considerable price for Cubans, whose average monthly income is only 20 US dollars, and it drives people of all ages and genders to pursue the lobster-catching career. It is common to return empty-handed every day, and the stillness of solitude can wear away even more sharpness, but as long as there is a catch, the confidence of the whole family will face north with more determination.

Cuban National Capitol.

Visiting the National Capitol during a trip to Cuba was an exceptional and unforgettable experience: Unique architecture: I was amazed by the splendor of the Capitol's architecture, a mix of neoclassical style and baroque elements, with a grand dome overlooking the city. Strolling through the inner hall: I wandered through the interior hall of the Capitol, astonished by the luxurious decorations and frescoes that embody the history of Cuba. Climbing to the top of the dome: I climbed to the top of the dome, where I enjoyed the magnificent views of Havana and the Atlantic Ocean. Learn about Cuba's history: I learned about Cuba's history through exhibitions held in the Capitol, which depict the struggle and stages of the fight for independence. National pride: I felt a sense of national pride when I saw the Cuban flag flying high above the Capitol. Visiting the Capitol was a rich cultural and historical experience, adding beautiful and unforgettable memories to my trip to Cuba.

El Capitolio, or the National Capital Building, is one of the most visited and photographed buildings in Havana. It was completed in 1929 under the Gerardo Machado administration. El Capitolio is located in the exact center of Havana. The Congress convened here until the 1959 Cuban Revolution. After that, the building fell into disrepair. In 2013, the government began repairs to restore the building.

The signature of capital!

Looking at Cuba from another angle, Havana, after the color faded, is even more memorable. Ending a few days of closed life, no network, no material, no platform to communicate with the outside world. This is Havana, this is Cuba. Everyday work is to sweep the streets, sway, and bask in the sun. But I love this place very much, very very. Havana is colorful and extreme, but I love this group of black and white films that are taken when sweeping the street. It is irreversible and completely zero-processed, but it is the real embodiment after breaking away from the glare. Because it is irreversible, it is precious. The time that has settled down is the most valuable. You can hear the sound of the wind, the color of the light, the distance of the dream.

【Cuba】Strolling through Havana: Between the New and the Old.

🇨🇺Traveling in Cuba, transportation can be a hassle, but with the influx of European and American tourists, the infrastructure has gradually improved. If you're short on time, I highly recommend the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus🚌. Starting from the central square of the old town, it takes you along the seaside avenue into the main attractions of the new area, and then back to the starting point in the old town. 🇨🇺If you've seen 'Encounter' starring Song Hye-kyo and Park Bo-gum, you'll easily recognize the attractions near the seaside avenue. As a jewel of the Caribbean, Cuba boasts a long and beautiful coastline🌊, attracting numerous tourists every year. The endless deep blue coast offers an inexplicable sense of healing. 🇨🇺Another noteworthy mention is Che Guevara. Even though he was captured and killed in Bolivia in 1967, this core leader of the Cuban Revolution is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the locals. Walking through any city or village in Cuba, the most common sights are the national flag and portraits of Che Guevara. 🇨🇺Having traveled through various countries, I've come to realize that besides beautiful scenery, culture is the most important factor affecting the travel experience. What leaves a lasting impression could be a charming smile, colorful attire, or delicious food. Cuba🇨🇺 is definitely a country worth visiting. It's not just isolated, not just retro, but the perfect fusion of old and new that is unforgettable❤️

The streets of Havana New Town are neat and tidy, and there may be few tourists and no congestion. Sitting in a classic car all the way to stop and go, although I have not yet felt the enthusiasm of the people here, I have already felt the enthusiasm of the temperature in this Mediterranean country. In the sauna room, after half an hour in the classic car, I was like a driver who was doing steaming. The older sister drove the sweat while driving. I took photos while wiping the sweat. The heat is really unbearable when I am ready to stop this "enthusiastic" self-driving tour. The sky is raining. My mood at this time is like a long dry rice field welcoming the dew, regardless of the big sisters strange eyes. The rain outside the car is wet.
