Safety: Cuba is an extremely safe country that warmly welcomes all visitors. The inhabitants of this small Caribbean island are especially hospitable and attentive to tourists. Families with children and women travelling alone can stroll around cities or the countryside freely with confidence. Make sure you keep 25 CUC (Cuban convertible pesos) in cash to pay the exit tax at the airport. Visitors leaving Cuba can take 23 cigars and 1.14 litres of alcohol (two standard 750-ml bottles). Whether this is your first time in Cuba or you’re a frequent visitor, you’ll always discover something new…

Right where Vedado meets Miramar, two of the most popular areas in Havana, there is a former oil factory that has now come back to life as an art laboratory, the ingenious idea of the singer X Alfonso. State-of-the-art culture, aesthetic diversity and spiritual enthusiasm are some of the shades of the artistic fusion provided every evening from Thursday to Sunday with the participation of over 500 young people. Catering for many tastes with many options! The centre has a projection room for small bands, literary presentations, performances, conferences and plays. It also has a library and exhibition space, and on the top floor, a dance area, theatre and cinema, a terrace for concerts, a room for digital art and even a place for massages.

Have you ever seen a road stretch across the sea for 48 kilometres? In Cuba there’s a causeway joining this beautiful Caribbean island with a group of keys with over 500 islets with lush vegetation bounded by the second largest coral barrier reef on the planet. No one who has visited the keys in the province of Villa Clara has been immune to the charms of this impressive combination of nature and engineering; you will feel like you are floating on the sea as you cross it. Cayo Santa María, undoubtedly a unique landscape in the world, is well-known for the excellence of its almost unspoilt beaches and seabeds, its pristine waters and its marvellous natural environment.
