🇨🇺 Caribbean
The island of son and mojitos: classic cars cruising along the Malecón, colonial fortresses in Old Havana, turquoise beaches in Varadero and the tobacco valleys of Viñales. A destination to feel, not just to visit.
Traveler's tip: in Cuba foreign cards don't always work and several exchange rates are in circulation, so it's best to bring cash (euros or US dollars are ideal) and change it at official exchange houses or trusted places. Avoid changing money on the street and always check the day's rate before closing any transaction.

Other important airports are Varadero (VRA), heavily used by beach tourism, along with Santiago de Cuba (SCU), Holguín (HOG) and Cayo Coco (CCC). The flag carrier is Cubana de Aviación, and the island also receives flights from several regional and international airlines connecting with Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. Domestic flights between cities run on limited schedules, so it's wise to book them well in advance. To get around by land, the most comfortable option for tourists is the Víazul bus network, which links the main cities and destinations with regular services. There are also shared collective taxis between cities and, within the cities, private taxis, the classic almendrones (shared vintage cars) and, in some areas, bicycle taxis and horse-drawn carriages. Ride-hailing apps have limited coverage, so you'll often negotiate the fare directly with the driver.
