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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Cuba?

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

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.
