In this article you can find some good tips for your holidays to Cuba. Along many years I have been given advice to clients wanting to visit Cuba so I decided to summarize some of them. I hope you find them useful.

The best museums in Havana are The Museum of the Revolution (former Presidential Palace), The Capitolio (former seat of The Chamber of Representatives and Senate), The Museum of The City (Government Palace and Town Hall in the colonial times) and the museum of Belle Arts.

In case you do get sick visit the doctor who is normally based in a room in your same hotel or in another one close by. Ask the concierge of your hotel where and how to find a doctor.

Try not to wear expensive jewellery while walking the streets, especially in Havana. The crime in Cuba is very low but there are rare cases of pick pocketing and some other minor crimes.

If possible stay at least three nights in Havana. There is so much to do and see that if you stay less than what is recommended you will miss what this vibrant city is really about.

The best hotels in Havana are those in the Old Town area. They are all small boutique hotels with a high standard of service and a lot of character. These hotels are residences from the 17th, 18th and 19th Century. Some of them belong to the richest and most famous personalities in Cuba. Among them Florida, Santa Isabel, Raquel, Condes de Villanueva and Saratoga Hotel are the ones that stand out from the crowd.

Visit Tropicana Cabaret. This is the most famous show in Cuba. Even if you are not a cabaret person you will be amazed with the quality of its choreographies, the skill of the dancers and definitely the sexiness and sensuality of the men and women that performed every night under the stars.

The best night clubs are Casa de La Musica de Centro Habana, Salon Rojo Capri Hotel, Casa de La Musica de Miramar, Jazz Caf, La Zorra y El Cuevo, El Turquino in Habana Libre Hotel and Habana Caf in Cohiba Hotel.

If your tour operator has an office in Cuba which offer representation to their clients try to be contacted on the lobby of your Hotel or if necessary you can visit their offices. There have been cases of scam in which tourists are contacted on the streets and taken to a bar for an information meeting in which you might end to buying few excursions thinking you are dealing with an employee of your tour operator.
