Beautifull place, the heart of music from Cuba. A visit to the church of El Virgen negro is worth while

Una ciudad encantadora, te chocara la difirecia social que se puede ver, pero vale la pena, y la gente es adorable!

Buy art in Havana. There are regular street art festivals and some of the art is really, really good. We bought some pieces from an art professor. They were wonderful and cost $90-$120. A steal. He was delighted that we bought three pieces. His monthly salary, hold onto your hat for this one, after sixteen years of teaching, was about $28 (US). That is not a typo: $28. Some day this art will be worth A LOT more than you paid for it. In the meantime, you can enjoy their beauty knowing you helped a truly struggling artist.

Worth while to hire a cab and a personal guide to tour the city, great value for money, takes in all the sites and tailors the tour to your own needs.

Travellers are always complaining about the food in Cuba. In fact, it's excellent. The best place to eat is at someone's home. You will be served excellent and plentiful food - curries, chicken, rice, black beans, fruit, fish... In Trinidad, there are a lot of casas particular (bbs) in people's homes. You can easily find a place by asking around, or checking the listed casas particular in the Lonely Planet guidebook.If a place you want is booked up, they will be able to recommend somewhere else and will often take you there. This is a pretty cheap alternative to a hotel. Be forewarned, however, that the beds will be uncomfortable. (All beds in Cuba - other than at the resorts - are pretty uncomfortable).

Havana... where does one start and where does one end... perhaps at the Malecon, the sea-front of Cuba with its wind-swept air... but there is so much to see and do and experience in Havana... first go to the Partagas and the Romeo y Julieta cigar factories (both are open and closed on somewhat different days) and get yourself acquainted with this most Cuban of things... buy yourself a few (Romeo and Juliet, Cohiba and Monte Cristo are good), though its much better to buy it through a local Cuban... perhaps your host if you are staying with a family (highly recommended) as it is significantly cheaper ... then enjoy them over a Mojito at one of the many cocktail bars in Havana...perhaps that colourful one full of graffiti and postcards that Ernest Hemingway used to frequent... also visit Hemingway's room at the hotel Ambos Mundos where he stayed and wrote for quite a while ... the room is still maintained as it is with some of his belongings displayed... of course, the Museo Revolucion is unmissable... go there to get a full rundown on the revolution, Fidel Castro, Che, Batista, and the lot...it has interesting artefacts, letters, photographs and other paraphernalia...as you come out of it, there are the quaintest cars parked in front (not that there is any shortage of quaint vintage cars in Havana or Cuba)... but these are taxis, so take a ride...go to the impressive Presidential Palace too and to the Habana Libre for more of history...but don't miss the non-serious stuff too ... like feasting on ice-cream at Coppelia (an institution for local Cubans), dancing or learning salsa or tango at one of the local bars, and listening to Cuban bands playing at one of the many outside or inside restaurants and bars all over Havana ... while you engage in the serious business of downing Mojitos and chomping on your cigar or cigarillo ...

Haban is a great city to go and Cuba is the best hispanic country you can travel to. Cubans have so much happiness in the soul, they are always happy to help you. The food is amazing. Culture is very rich. Beaches are gorgeous. A+ Country.
