Frequently asked questions about hotels in Cuba
What are the best landmarks to visit in Cuba?
For iconic landmarks, you've got to see the Castillo de la Real Fuerza in Havana, a stunning example of Spanish colonial military architecture. Then there's the Plaza de la Catedral, also in Havana, with its beautiful cathedral and surrounding colonial buildings. Outside Havana, the Castillo de San Pedro de la Roca in Santiago de Cuba is another must-see fortress, offering breathtaking views. Finally, the Viñales Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is known for its unique mogotes (limestone karst hills) and tobacco plantations.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Cuba?
Exploring Old Havana on foot is a must; it's a UNESCO World Heritage site brimming with history and charm. Taking a classic car tour is a quintessential Cuban experience. Beyond Havana, consider visiting a tobacco plantation in Viñales Valley to learn about the cigar-making process, or enjoying a salsa lesson in Santiago de Cuba, known as the birthplace of this vibrant dance. A trip to the beaches of Varadero is also highly recommended.
The best time to visit is during the dry season, from November to April, when the weather is pleasant and sunny. However, bear in mind that this is peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. The shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October) offer a good compromise between pleasant weather and fewer tourists.
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Cuba?
Havana is a great base for a week-long trip, allowing you to explore Old Havana, Vedado (with its beautiful architecture and Malecón seawall), and Miramar (known for its upscale atmosphere). Alternatively, you could split your time between Havana and another region like Viñales Valley, known for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere, or Trinidad, a well-preserved colonial city.
Which parts of Cuba are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a quick escape, Varadero is ideal, offering beautiful beaches and all-inclusive resorts. Alternatively, Trinidad, with its charming colonial architecture and vibrant culture, makes for a delightful short break. Both are easily accessible from Havana.
Renting a car can be challenging in Cuba due to the condition of roads outside major cities and limited availability of rental vehicles. Public transport, including buses and shared taxis (collectivos), is generally reliable and affordable, especially for shorter distances. Consider using these options, or hiring a driver for longer journeys outside of urban areas.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Cuba?
The largest airports are José Martí International Airport (HAV) in Havana and Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport (VRA) in Varadero. These are the main entry points for international flights.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Cuba?
It's courteous to learn a few basic Spanish phrases. Being respectful of local customs and traditions is appreciated. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Bargaining is common in some markets, but always do so politely.
What local specialties should you try in Cuba?
You must try Ropa Vieja (shredded beef stew), Moros y Cristianos (black beans and rice), and Picadillo (ground beef with vegetables). For desserts, indulge in flan and guava pastries. Don't forget to sample Cuban coffee, strong and sweet.
Where are the best shopping spots in Cuba?
Old Havana offers many shops selling souvenirs, cigars, and rum. Larger department stores can be found in Havana's Vedado district. For unique crafts and local products, explore artisan markets in various cities and towns across the island.
What signature events or festivals take place in Cuba?
The Carnival of Santiago de Cuba is a major event, known for its vibrant parades and music. The International Ballet Festival of Havana attracts dancers and enthusiasts from around the world. Many smaller, local festivals celebrating saints and religious occasions take place throughout the year.
What’s the best place in Cuba for mild and comfortable weather?
The central region of Cuba, particularly areas like the Viñales Valley, often enjoys a mild and comfortable climate year-round, although temperatures can vary depending on the season. The coastal areas tend to be more humid.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Cuba?
Not exchanging currency at official CADECA exchange bureaus, relying too heavily on credit cards, and failing to plan transportation in advance are common mistakes. Also, not learning a few basic Spanish phrases can create communication challenges.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Cuba?
Consider visiting the Valle de los Ingenios (Valley of the Sugar Mills) near Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage site with impressive sugar mill ruins. The Zapata Swamp offers opportunities for birdwatching and exploring unique ecosystems. The smaller towns and villages away from major tourist hubs often reveal authentic Cuban life and charm.
