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
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

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