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.
In case you do get sick visit the doctor who is normally based in a room in your same hotel or in another one close by. Ask the concierge of your hotel where and how to find a doctor.
If you are on a budget a good way to move around the island is by bus. There is only one company that offer this service and is called VIAZUL. Their fleet of coaches is in very good conditions and they connect each and every province in Cuba.
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 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).
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.
Try out the Paladares, these are private restaurants located in someone's house. They have a reduced number of tables but their cuisine is probably better than any of the fancy restaurants owned by the Government. The most famous Paladar is La Guarida.
