Wow Almost 10 years I was in Cuba last time.
This is not normal 🙂
let talk about covid first.
Covid 19 rules in Cuba january 2021 :
You must wear mask. Non stop everywhere.
Restaurants are open. But Nightclubs are closed.
I never see a country people wear mask this much.
Cuba is serious about covid.
La Habana :
La Habana is much modern and busier from last time I saw.
I stayed again near hotel plaza. If you consider night clubs are closed.
expecially second floor of havana libre hotel, no need to stay near vedado.
But I heard “ primera 70 “ club is open in miramar.
Sadly you cant use Cuban pesos in many stores. They accept only
Us dollar or Credit card.
Curency in CUBA :
there is huge difference between banks
and public currency.
if you change your money in hotel or bank ,
1 euro is like 23 pesos.
but if you change money in streets.
in varadero
1 euro : 80 pesos
in la habana i heard
1 euro like 85 pesos
its crazy.. I changed to much money.
I came back home with 3800 pesos.
its like 150 euro. And there is no way to get
back euro..
Cuban pesos only works in Cuba 🙁
Varadero :
I came in january in Varadero. I knew its not summer. But flight and hotel was so cheap.
Luckly weather was amazing and I enjoy beautiful beach and sea.
I think for Varadero 3 days more than enough.
I love La habana very much. This was my 3rd time.
I love to walk streets and smell history.
I will be back again. Hope this time I can go other cities as well.
