Guests have easy access to public transportation and taxis that can take you to the most sought-after historical sights, restaurants, bars, museums, squares, shops, taxis, vintage cars, carriage rides.
Money exchange: Money can be exchanged at the airport and at most major hotels in the city and in the Cadeca. In Cuba, rates are the same regardless of where you go. However, be very careful when exchanging money on the black market.
Safety: Havana's streets are famous and safe, day and night. While visitors are advised to be cautious when carrying expensive camera equipment, it is true that Cubans are fair and peace-loving, proud and dignified people. You'll run into the occasional peddler trying to rush their offer, but usually a friendly and dismissive wave will drive them away.
Cell phone and Internet access: International calling packages are available for purchase through guest phone carriers. Packages typically offer cell phone service at a reduced rate, unlimited texting, but very limited data plans. The price of surfing the web with a cell phone can be surprisingly prohibitive, so plan to do all your web searches in cybercafes or hotels that offer Wi-Fi connections.
Maps and guides will be available for guests to borrow.
