Havana is the vibrant capital of Cuba, a city of faded grandeur, vintage American cars, and lively music spilling from every corner. Its seaside Malecón and crumbling colonial squares give it a singular, time-warped charm. Cruise the Malecón in a classic convertible as the sun dips into the sea, and Havana's rhythm will stay with you long after you leave!

Good to know before you go
The currency situation favours bringing cash, ideally euros or Canadian dollars, as many foreign cards do not work, and small tips in cash are always welcome. Spanish is the language, and getting around is easiest on foot in walkable Old Havana, with classic-car taxis and colectivos filling in for longer hops, since there are no ride-hailing apps and public buses are crowded. It is wise to arrange lodging and money matters before arriving, and the city is generally safe with the usual street smarts.
Entry requirements and health
Tourist card required
No visa needed, but you'll want a Cuban tourist card (tarjeta del turista). Usually the airline or your travel agent sorts it out for you before you leave.
Vaccines and health
Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water.
