Havana Tips :
DISCOVER THE REAL HAVANA

Havana , the capital of Cuba, is a compelling city. Enjoy your stay in Havana, also called LA HABANA, the city with many faces. I advise you to make contact with the local in the street. Cubans are open and friendly and Havana is a safe place – one of the safest in Latin America. The Cubans will welcome you as a friend … and yes, of course they will try to sell you ‘street cigars’ (counterfeit brand cigars) with the classic question “Hey, my friend, where are you from? Hola from Canada? I have a friend in Canada. Do you smoke? I have some very good and cheap cigars from my brother who works in a cigar factory …!!!” Don’t limit your Havana trip to the well known tourist attractions: the Capitolio, the Cathedral, The Hemingway Trail, etc.
