Budget
Cuba is not a cheap destination, especially if you opt for all-inclusive hotels in seaside resorts. The most economical solution is to stay in a private home where comfort is of a good level. In Cuba, two currencies are used but only the CUC allows you to make valuable purchases while the national peso is worth almost nothing; so avoid changing on the street, scams guaranteed. Payments are mainly made in cash. Tips are not mandatory..
Health
No specific vaccines are required in Cuba except for updating conventional vaccines (diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis). Vaccines against hepatitis A, B and typhoid are recommended. The absence of malaria does not mean that you should not protect yourself from mosquito bites by wearing long-sleeved clothing (best impregnated with an insecticide), applying repellents to exposed skin and using insecticides in the room. As for dengue fever, the risk is low outside epidemic periods, more to be feared during and after the rainy season, between June and October. Finally, in the event of a health problem, doctors are well trained in Cuba and the rates applied to tourists are more or less the same as in France. Be careful, the water is not drinkable in Cuba, you have to buy water bottles and check that they are well sealed.
