Has anyone been to Cuba recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at clubs?

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
