Actual TIPS for those not deterred by this video and others that show the negatives: 1. Invest in a life straw bottle! 2. Do not be afraid to PACK. This is NOT the destination for “light packing” anything you find comfort in at home BRING IT!!! 3. BRING SNACKS FROM HOME!! Cubans don’t eat spicy food like that so if you like hot sauce BRING IT! 4. Bring toilet paper/wipes as the public restrooms usually don’t have toilet paper. 5. Ladies, bring sanitary napkins because you will NOT find them here. 6. If you can try to bring things for the people as it’s very bare minimum down there. 7. Learn a few Spanish phrases so that you can bargain better. 8. NEVER pay the price they quote you as it’s always double. Pretend you only have half. Works especially well if you are a pretty woman. Bonus do NOT skimp on going to the beach! It’s worth the trip. Also don’t pay $30 to get in the taxi to the beach, if you stay in the downtown area the nice coach bus (reserved for tourist) will take you there for $5 round trip!

Definitely agree with not eating street food. You just don’t know how sanitary the vendor conditions are or where the ingredients are from. Also, if you buy bottled water from a street vendor, make sure that the top is factory sealed. I’ve seen refilled bottles before.

Been going to Cuba for decades and it is really looking tired ! I feel very bad for the locals , because the Cuban people are very nice people 🇨🇦🇨🇦‼️‼️❤️❤️🇨🇺🇨🇺

Este video muestro lo turistico, la realidad de Cuba es muy diferente, recorran la vieja Habana y veran las calamitosas situaciones por las tienen que pasar los cubanos, decadencia hambre y miseria, muy triste.

for a country that is heavily sanctioned, it looks cleaner than India.

Hey, India is way populated and much cleaner now, the cleanliness staff works on the streets from as early as 5am in the morning... Don't go by propaganda videos. Also India is the fifth largest economy now, get your facts right, it is 2024

I Havana got a clue!...

Lang ist schon doch her.😊 Damals im El Presidente gewohnt. Viele tolle Eindrücke gewonnen. Freundliche Menschen gesehen, die trotz der teilweise ihr Leben gemeistert haben. Das Tal Vinales, wunderschön, die Evolutiosgeschichte der Menschenheit zeigt von einem kubanischen Künstler gemalt wurden. Varadero mit seinem Strand genossen. Aber auch St. Clara mir angesehen sowie die Schweinebucht. Cienfuego mit einigen ehemaligen Häusern von Zuckerbaronen angesehen. Ach, es gäbe noch vieles interessant noch zu erzählen. Da denke ich an Hemingway und auch an Präs. Carter der auch dort war. Die tollste und wunderschöne Apotheke von ca. 1846,ein Traum von Holzinventar. Ach, einfach könnte mal wieder dort einen Urlaub verleben. Vielleicht wieder mit einem Ranger durch den Wald streifen.

Enjoyed the video💕

Stay away from street pizza unless you want the runs..

This street is supposed to be full of people but if you fix it when you see all the holes or it's all missing like sand, that's why you need it there

In this coverage, the glories of the past are still clearly visible in most of the buildings and streets that depict modern city planning in the past.

Even in luxury restaurants you can get sick (gastero enteritis), as happened to me several times. food is expensive and terrible, worse than in the so-called period especial of the 90s. I would advise against visiting Cuba as a holiday destination as it is a bankrupt prison island under a terrible dictatorship.

Great people, great nation.

It can be seen that the foreign Castro spokesmen (normally it is only one with many accounts who writes in the Cuban videos) go to live in Cuba, they are only defenders of that tyranny but under remote control. This false solidarity is not with ordinary Cubans when they talk about Cuba, but with Castro's tyranny. They justify anything that happens in Cuba under that regime and always try to bring out their sick anti-Americanism by trying to divert attention to the alleged faults of the United States, trying to victimize Castro's tyranny to try to whitewash its guilt for having Cubans in misery and worse, without freedoms. This pro-Castro mercenarism that they actively practice is part of the deformations that many of them receive in the public schools where they are trained as agents of Castro's tyranny and the totalitarian socialist/communist ideology.
