Havana is a safe city but beware of "friends": local beggers who try to sell cigars to tourists. A reasonable caution when communicating with this sort of people is advised.
Our favourite restaurants in Havana include:

  • The Floridita (on the expensive side)
  • Divina Pastora
  • Doce Apostoles (sea food, cheap, good view)
