taxis and buses in Cuba

by gwened

not much info on your interests. However, traveling with a nine mos baby can create some shortages of necessaties, that you need to plan ahead unless staying in a top flight resort.I have one casa particular in Havana of friends but dont know if available when you are going. The places you want to see are usually done by bus viazul or private car taxis by cubataxiThis is the official Cuba tourist site with taxi infohttp://www.infotur.cu/ficha.aspx?iddest=1&serv=2&item=27&cpto=8and the official bus sitehttp://www.viazul.com/index.phpfor general info and casas try this all time great site cuba junkyhttp://www.cuba-junky.com/in addition to browsing our pages here above at destinations, you will have all you need for a great trip.cheers

When in Havana grab one of those old cabs.

by jeroen_serre

Since drivers are precious about their cars, you can expect a safe ride. Make sure to set the price up-front.Decide what price is acceptable by scanning the market first, smart cabdrivers and dumb tourists are an explosive combination..

Viazul bus

by kat-m

The problem with this bus is the booking office, it is quite a way from havana vieja. We got a taxi there and back for about 10 dollars which wasnt too bad. The bus must be pre booked at least one day before travelling, after that everything went smoothly and we travelled to cienfuegos, trinidad and varadero on this bus taking the viazul from each place we went on to the next. At the stations are lots of Jinteros (touts) do not go with them to accomadations as they look for a percentage for taking you there! I would not reccomend the website just go to the depots the day before you want to travel.

tourist bus to the beaches

by kat-m

This bus is great, for a very cheap price the bus takes you out of the city, under the river by tunnel so no open top this time. The playa de este are havanas beaches about 20kilometres out of the city and you can see the outskirts of havana and the other side of the river to el morro. The bus stop is in park central right beside the Jose Marti` statue.

tourist bus hop on and off

by kat-m

While in Havana it is a good idea to take the tourist bus round the city. It is a good way to see the parts that you may otherwise miss. The bus is not expensive and stops frequently for drinks etc. The hop on hop off idea enables you to visit the places of interest and hop on the next bus. The bus has an open top and well worth the trip of about 2 hours if you stay on.

From Haiti to Cuba

by cochinjew

Thank you Grumpy..While it is still "illegal" for americans to go to Cuba as tourists, US govt has no money authorized to prosecute them. This information was given to me by Immigration authorities in the USA.There are thousands of americans traveling to Cuba, legally with permission (there are many many categories that do not specific permission such as Cuban americans, journalists, professors, researchers etc), they travel directly from Miami or Tampa or LA or NYC. There are about seven flights to cuba from miami alone on a daily basis.The problem with Haiti is that you cannot go from Haiti to Cuba in one day. To my knowledge there are only two flights per WEEK on aerocaribbean and it is between PAP and Santiago de Cuba. You are welcome to visit this lively city in eastern cuba so very different from La Habana.Considering, the time and the expense (cuba is not a cheap destination), I...

cheap flights to and from cuba?

by rkearns

i would check the major search engines i have found to have good deals:expediahotwirepricelinekayaktravelocitythen search for flights on a tues. or thurs. (i have always gotten cheaper fares on these days) just make your itinerary a bit flexible if you can. after i find a deal, i like to check with the airline it's with by going to their actual site because prices tend to vary from minute to minute.one way will cost you almost the same amount, btw.

Where to buy a bike?

by RKyle

I was in Cuba for April and visited a family in Playa Larga I have known for 3 years, they had two new mountain bikes purchased in Cuba.Contact Pototo thru the Cuba Junky website and he will give you accurate information on where to buy a bike in Cuba with very little spin.

Direct Flights to Cuba

by cochinjew

the direct flights are for people who have licences from OFAC, Department of Treasury. the majority of the travellers are cuban americans who are allowed to visit the island once every three years. There is a general licence which gives a general licence to academics doing research in cuba, journalists visiting the island, believe it or not Christian Ministers!, or professionals visiting the island to attend a conference. I have flown this route many many times, it is the most convenient way to fly to miami from cuba but coming back to cuba from Miami, it is inconvenient as long as you dont have much luggage. these flights are taken to a separate terminal in Jose Marti International Airprot and the poor cuban americans are charged a lof of money to bring stuff into the country: two dollars a pound over 44 pounds in Miami and similar or more in Havana. It is an incredibly short flight....

Cubana Airlines

by RickL

Cubana Airlines is a good alternative to the buses or long haul taxis options while travelling in Cuba. Cubans pay in "moneda national" while you will pay with the more expensive "pesos convertibles" for the same seat.The service is generally good even though we were offered only one refreshment (pop, juice or water) during the longest possible trip of Guantnaamo to Havana.All internal flights are serviced using very old Soviet made aircraft. The seats functions don't always work well or sometimes not at all. The real concern is the maintenance of the engines and other working parts as Cubana has one of the owrst safety records in the world. Still, I've taken several internal flights and I'm alive.
