Guantánamo

Guantánamo is a very safe city, you can stay for long in the street, you can go to night clubs, discoteques and parties and feel secure and comfortable. People is very friendly, funny and love music and dancing, it's usual to find small groups having fun in the city, or at home.

Is Cuba worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.6 /5

based on 25 experiences from female travelers

Cuba, Solo travel

Cuba is a much underrated country. It has so much to offer culture wise. The people are very friendly. It’s common to stay at peoples private houses, therefore one supports the locals. The food was great and I can’t say anything bad about Cuba. However as a woman I wouldn’t travel solo again because men are very forward in approaching and flirting.

Havana, Solo travel

Cuba was an amazing adventure. I entered homes as a guest and left as family. I saw beauty and hardship. I was overwhelmed by warmth and kindness. My new & temporary family and neighbors watched out for me, we shared stories and laughs. I ate amazing food. I experienced delight. I couldn’t see it all in one week, so I will definitely return. ❤️ I stayed in a Casa Particulare with a family and loved this experience. My Spanish was very limited and my host helped me with getting taxis and, in general, had the whole neighborhood watching out for me. I felt very safe the entire time traveling solo. The Cuban people are warm, friendly, and welcoming.
