Havana旅行常见问题
Do I need a visa for Cuba?
Nearly all nationalities need a Cuban Tourist Card (tarjeta de turista) — 30 days, extendable once for 30 more. Cost US$25–75 depending on point of purchase (airline counter, Cuban consulate, online). US citizens must travel under one of 12 authorised categories (most common: 'Support for the Cuban People') + keep a 5-year records log — technically no tourism, though enforcement is loose. Passport valid 6+ months + proof of health insurance required on arrival.
How do I combine Havana with Morocco?
Havana ↔ Madrid direct 9h Iberia + Air Europa → Madrid ↔ Marrakech / Casablanca 3h — total 13–15h. Marhaba's Atlantic-history arc: 5 nights Havana + Viñales day → Madrid 2 nights → Marrakech + Sahara 5 nights. Culturally the two capitals of layered colonial + indigenous / Andalusi / African heritage. Note: US-issued cards do not work in Cuba — bring EUR / CAD / GBP cash.
How do payments work in Cuba? (This trips up everyone)
US-issued credit + debit cards DO NOT WORK in Cuba (Chase, Amex, Visa, MasterCard). Bring cash in EUR, CAD or GBP (not USD — 10% surcharge to exchange). Exchange at hotels or CADECA offices to CUP (Cuban peso) at official rate ~24 CUP = 1 USD but the informal rate is 320+ CUP = 1 USD — dramatically better; ask your casa host or a trusted local. Budget US$40–100/day cash for a mid-range trip. Wi-Fi is now widespread + faster than a decade ago (Etecsa scratch cards or ETECSA data eSIMs).
How do I visit Viñales / Trinidad from Havana?
Viñales (2h30 west by Viazul bus US$12 one-way or private taxi US$120 return) — tobacco valley, mogotes karst, horseback rides + tobacco-farm tours. Trinidad (5h30 southeast) — UNESCO colonial time-capsule + Ancón Beach — worth 2 nights minimum. Both essential Cuba beyond Havana. Book Viazul 24h ahead in season; private colectivo taxis often same-price + faster.
Is Havana good for families?
Older kids (10+) love it for the classic cars, live music + Malecón vibe; younger kids find heat + walking distances hard. Aquarium National (Miramar), Callejón de Hamel Sunday rumba, Fusterlandia (Fuster mosaic house), Plaza de la Catedral evening street performers, Playas del Este 20 km east for beach day. Family rooms best at Meliá Cohiba, Iberostar Grand Packard, casas particulares with 2-3 rooms.
What's the best luxury stay in Havana?
Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski (2017 — Old Havana's finest, roof pool with Capitolio view), Iberostar Grand Packard (Prado + Malecón), Iberostar Parque Central (Prado — split into two connected buildings), Meliá Cohiba (Vedado — business + expat scene), Hotel Nacional (Vedado — historic 1930 grande-dame, all leaders + celebrities stayed here). Best-of-Havana experience often the boutique + service of Kempinski + character of Nacional in one trip.
How do I get from HAV airport to my hotel?
José Martí (HAV) 20 km southwest — 3 terminals (T3 international the main one). Taxi US$25–35 (agree fare in advance — no meters, no Uber, drivers accept USD or EUR cash). Journey 30–45 min depending on traffic. Some hotels + casas particulares offer complimentary pickup on request — highly recommended for first arrival.
Is Havana safe for tourists?
One of the safest capitals in Latin America — violent crime rare, heavy police presence in tourist zones. Petty theft + jineterismo (hustling tourists — restaurant scams, currency-exchange scams, over-priced 'friend' introductions) common but non-violent. Verify taxi fare + restaurant menu prices in advance. Solo women get lots of piropos (catcalls) — cultural, not dangerous. Emergency 106 (police) / 104 (ambulance).
