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.
