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 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
