Useful advice for travelling to Cuba (CUB)

Cuba is a land of revolutionary ideas, great cigars, friendly people, and impressive landscape. Located in the northern Caribbean region near the Caribbean Sea, Cuba has a lengthy sea shore, which beckons all romantics. City bars attract party goers from around the globe with a mix of loud rhythms that make your legs move on their own, thick clouds of cigar smoke, and the world’s sweetest cocktails. The legendary island country of striking history, architecture, and nature is where you will be able to experience the true Latin American spirit.

Preparing for the trip

There are also no compulsory vaccination requirements for entering the country, but you should still get the usual vaccinations hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, tetanus, and diphtheria.
