Havana

The best time to visit Havana is between December and May, which is the dry season and is less humid. However, this is also peak tourist season, so expect prices to be high and crowds to be larger.

Pack lightweight, comfortable clothing, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes for walking on uneven surfaces. Also, pack a reusable water bottle, as tap water in Havana is not safe to drink.

Most visitors to Havana will need a tourist visa, which is available from the Cuban consulate or through travel agencies. Some countries, such as the United States, have specific travel restrictions and requirements for visiting Cuba, so be sure to check with your government before planning your trip.

The official currency in Havana is the Cuban peso (CUP), but tourists generally use the Cuban convertible peso (CUC), which is equivalent to the US dollar. It is recommended to bring cash in either US dollars or Euros, as credit and debit cards are not widely accepted.

Some popular activities in Havana include visiting El Malecon, visiting the Old Havana historic district, taking a classic car tour, visiting the Museum of the Revolution, and experiencing the local food and music scene.

Havana is considered a relatively safe city for tourists. However, it is still important to take precautions such as not carrying too much cash, being aware of your surroundings, and not walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas.
