Hi All,

I'm looking to head to Cuba by myself in early 2018 and am finding information on Tourist cards very limited as I won't be going through a pre-package holiday (which tends to sort them out for you). Does anyone have any experience in applying for/ obtaining a Tourist card as a UK citizen? My main concern is that the embassy says that you need to provide proof of accomodation, whereas I would normally book the first few nights and last couple and work the rest out when I get there. Does…

My wife and I are British Citizens and UK Passport holders, we will be travelling to Canada in August for a family wedding and three days later we intend to travel to Cuba from Canada with a group of Canadian Friends for a week. Can anyone tell me if I need to obtain a Cuban Tourist Card before leaving the UK and if so, suggest a suitable website for making my application.

Hi guys,
Because I have been confused with the ac adapter which I can take with me in Cuba. I use the European chargers (2 round pins). Now, what I have to buy? I have seen different topics but there is nowhere clearly what they use. If you have the type of the adapter and a link to see this, send me please.
Thanks in advance!

For those doing Havana or Cuba on a budget here is some info on how to get around Havana from the airport and Viazul stop for cheap.

An update to getting to town from the airport on public transport. I did this the other day as per other tips online and it is pretty simple if you are not in a rush and don't mind walking a bit.

The information desk at the airport in Terminal 3 told me the shuttle to terminal 2 arrives once an hour at :10 past. I got the 15:10 one but it came a bit earlier than…

I've been seeing threads about classic cars where a driver takes you around, but my friends and I are interested in renting one to drive. I've heard there might be such a service, but I haven't come across where or how to do that. Does anyone here know? Thanks!

"Kavulich said that the administration will enact “increased enforcement relating to travel,” and “a focus upon discouraging transactions with entities controlled by the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) of the Republic of Cuba.”

Hi there

I've started planning my trip to Cuba and I wondering if anyone could give me an indication of the amount of leg room available on the busses they have out there. I'm 6'5 (195cm) tall so I don't really want to travel vast distances in one go if there is little or no leg room available as it would be too uncomfortable. If there isn't much leg room available then I'll look at planning longer trips in a series of shorter hops or possible look at the shared taxi option.

Thanks
Gavin

We are two middle-aged adults and our two young adult children. We spent a week in Cuba in early May 2017. Since I got my most useful travel info here, I thought I should share our experiences.
First, the paperwork. We selected "educational/people to people" as our travel reason and were never asked any questions or for any documentation re the license. We flew American and got an email from them ahead of time saying that CTS would contact us for the tourist card/visa. They never did so I just…

Hi,
I'm currently travelling through Cuba and need to print out some documents for the arrival to my next destination (San Jose, Costa Rica). I'm staying in casas particulares and am heading for Havana. Is there anywhere you can go to print out documents?
Thanks
