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 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
