Before booking the ticket to Havana take into account the following important information:

Museum of the Revolution

3) After revolution in 1956 the ruling party is Cuban Communist Party - it is not recommended to speak about politics and particularly about government;
4) There is not easy to find internet access in whole country as well as ATMs. So it is better if you bring cash instead of credit cards.
5) The climat in Cuba is tropical - so, it is recommended to plan your journey from the start of December to the end of March.
In the streets of Havana you can see many old cars, mostly built before 1956.
