bello everybody. I got married to a cuban in greece with all the legal documenta in greece. my husband already left to cuba and I have a one way ticket because we are not sure for the excact date. On the website of the airline was saying clearly that check-in will be denied if there is no return ticket. will it be a problem?

Hey everybody,

my mother has a dream: She would love to visit Havanna/ Cuba. The tricky part is, she is very sick and her handicap ties her to a wheelchair.
A nurse and myself would accompany her, but I am actually concerned, that Havanna might be full of steep stairs... Also I was told that it is quite difficult to find barrierfree hotels and restaurants.
If anyone could offer some information, insights or links I would be thrilled!! We are not in a hurry, but I expect the planning will take a bit longer than usual...

Thanx in advance, happy travels and cheers from Berlin!

We found a good flight to Havana from MIA and also from JFK. Is it possible to advance purchase our Cuban Visas at either airport and where is the location to do so? Or do we have to force a layover to purchase our visas from a foreign country? Thank you in advance for your advice. I am havng a hard time finding a direct answer to this question online. 

Is it possible to hire decent (with 7+ gears) in Cuba? ansd if so where are the main hire places? We are travelling next Spring & could take our own bikes if hiring is difficult.
Thanks

Could somebody tell me what the weather is like late August please?

Many thanks

Hi,

I am travelling to Cuba with my girlfriend in a few days and as I said in the title, this is our first time travelling outside of the usual vanilla European countries.

This is a post looking for both general and specific advice.

Specifically: We are staying in Vedado, Habana. We arrive on Sat the 11/06 and leave on Wed 29/06.

We have 2 weekends with which to travel the Island, what would you recommend for these 2 weekends?
i) What transport would you use to do it?
ii) How would you arrange accommodation?

How would you spend your evenings in Habana and what must see/experience spots are there in the immediate vicinity?
i) Are there any worthwhile beaches in and around Habana?

What is the best way to communicate with the UK/Europe?
Generally: What do you feel everyone should know/understand/be cautious of before travelling to Cuba/Habana? Is there anything/where you would avoid?

As you can tell I am a complete novice with regards to Cuba and travelling in general so huge thanks to anyone who can help me out with some advice :).

I am heading to Cancun and then Cuba this July 11-29.....is it best to book my flight from Cancun to Havana ahead of time or a couple of days/day of I plan to head to Cuba?

Hi. Bit confused. Been quoted 140 ccp for a day trip to Havana for 3 people. I see the average taxi price one way is 90 ccp so how can this price be right?

Please can you tell me how much the taxi fare will be from Iberostar Varadero to Memories Varadero Hotel?

What are the best 4 star all inclusives in Varadero for food? I hate fried western food, need light healthy food options

We decided on this hotel because of the excellent location of this hotel. I realize that is probably more suited for the younger generation, who like to party, and that is ok with us. However, I would like some advice on the location of the quieter rooms. We like to stay in the main building and are interested in the oceanview rooms; or should we ask maybe for a room facing the road? Any input would be appreciated.

I understand GPS devices are not allowed in Cuba...
Has anyone had any problems bringing in their mobile devices, i.e. cell phones?

We're on a tour and staying at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba...
Is it safe to eat/drink dairy products at the hotel?
What about fresh salads, fruit and juice?

Any help would be great!

Thank you!

This is an unlikely question, but I'll ask it anyway.

I am going to Cuba for a month this autumn, and would like to meet other Mathematics teachers, or people in the schools of education who train Mathematics teachers.

If anyone has any suggestions for how I might do this -- whom to contact -- I would be grateful.

Hi,
We are going to Cuba in May.
Is the CUC exchange rate better for US$ or Can$? I realize there's a 10% fee for US$.

Thank you!

My family wants to travel to Cuba in early to mid July, purely for leisure. Is this possible? What process would we have to go through to do this?

I am 19 and my girlfriend is 20. what is the best place to go with a vibrant atmosphere for a decent price.

We are a family of 4, with teens ages, 14 & 16. We have travelled to Cuba 2x, and stayed at the Playa Pesquero in Holguin. We rented mopeds and took a trip into Guardalavaca and really enjoyed exploring. We are looking for places to stay, aside from resorts, maybe a home, a farm, or smaller hotel. We like to explore natural reserves, jungle, markets, beaches, animal sanctuaries, waterfalls and like a little (safe) adventure. We don't mind moving around a bit as far as accommodations. We appreciate any suggestions or feedback from anyone willing to share! Thank you in advance.

Hi has anyone been to Cuba in July ?is there a risk of hurricanes ?also what's the cheapest way of getting to Cuba from USA

Is there still a question on the US customs declaration form asking if you have visited other countries while in Mexico, e.g. Cuba? How do you handle that?

Hello! I will be in Cuba with a group on a sailboat and need to arrange group transportation for us for a few activities, specifically within Cienfuegos to the Guanaroca Lagoon and to some local beaches, and then a longer trip from Havana to Bay of Pigs. I am having a hard time finding information online and was wondering if this was the sort of thing I could just arrange once we arrive at the dock, or if it something I should have sorted before we arrive? Also, are there large taxi-vans that can fit 8-12 people, or would we likely have to just use regular taxis and take several? Any information that could be provided would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

We will go to Cuba in 2 weeks. What is the best currency to take? Euros or USDollars? What about using a credit card in restaurants and/or to withdraw cash at ATMs?
Thanks for your help!

We are US citizens, currently in Mexico. We'll be going to Cuba tomorrow, but have conflicting information on . exchanging money. We have Mex pesos. Simple question. Can we exchange them for Cuban currency (CUC)?

We are staying in a Varadero hotel and we want to see a base ball game in Varadero on a saturday night. Is it possible to take a taxi to bring us to the game and afterwards bring us back to the hotel? What is the price for the rides? Where can we find a taxi? In the hotel area? thanks

Did anyone travel to Cuba with go ahead tours?

We are an older couple, who have travelled independently in several countries over the years, but we do NOT speak Spanish, and was wondering if we are likely to have much trouble trying to travel independently in Cuba.
