Havana-guide:
FIRST TIME IN HAVANA

If you have only one day to spend at Havana , then our recommendation is to buy one of the package trips sold by tour operators or advertised at the hotel reception desk. Their advantage is that everything is organised for you , the transport is provided , the places to visit are known , you go with an official guide who knows the town. You can see a lot of Havana in a short period of time .

BUT !

Is this the real Havana ? Of course not , Havana is so much more ! Havana is not only fabulous antique buildings , museums and fascinating history .

The people of Havana is one of the main attractions and don’t forget the music, the rum, the sun, the fun…. To have a good first impression, spent at least one week at Havana . Prepare the first days well, note all the places of interest you want to visit . read the suggested trips through Havana.

I strongly advise you to read carefully all the tips and remarks that I give you under the title Life in HAVANA > read more >> and don’t forget to read the information about money and safety

I am sure this will protect you from a lot of small trouble and save you money.

Don’t be afraid , most Cubans are very kind people and will try to help you where they can .

I hear several times questions like :

- What should I bring in ?
- What’s difficult to find ?
- Which things can I buy to help a Cuban family ?

Read the information getting there and where to stay you find an answer to most questions.

Have a nice first trip , enjoy ….and come back soon for more !
