Travel guide La Havane

From Europe, a flight to Havana is not cheap, but if you plan well in advance, you can find return tickets for 600 €. For the rest, as for most trips, anticipation will help avoid unnecessary expenses, mainly concerning the reservation of accommodation. Cubans are very welcoming and it is very easy to meet people in Havana.

Havana is an eminently touristic city, so the tour operators offering tours there are legion. Generally, the trips to Cuba are designed for groups (small or large) and include flights, accommodation, meals and access to the main tourist sites. Thematic tours are also planned according to the year's calendar: salsa courses, Havana marathon, history and heritage, gastronomy, etc.

To get around Havana, the most important means of transportation is the car. Except in the city center, where you can get around very well on foot, you will have recourse to the services of cabs to get from one neighborhood to another: official cab, private cab or clandestine cab. Bicycle cabs are also common in the capital, as well as coco-taxis, motorized tricycles with a yellow hull that looks like a coconut.
