Solo travel experience
I loved my trip to Cuba and it is top of my revisit list. Definitely, a country where I felt super safe in and the people were so lovely. The character and uniqueness are amazing and well worth a visit. Varadero is like paradise and so many great cities to visit.

I went solo a few years ago and I felt completely safe. I walked around by myself late at night and never once felt like I was going to be taken advantage of.

I went to Cuba solo and felt very safe. Cuba is very welcoming to tourism since it's a big part of their economy and I never felt in danger. Cubans are very chatty because they are curious, at first this can be perceived as of they have other intentions but most times they just wanna chat and hear where you are from, very warm and welcoming people.

It was a beautiful country. What you should definitely do is explore the whole island. Like Varadero beach are beautiful. For food, if you don't go to restaurant don't expect great food, cause the locals mostly sell chicken and rice. If you take an Airbnb, do not drink tap water and regarding the cooking it is often difficult to buy ingredients because cuba is a communist country so some things are rationed for the population. But other than that, it's really cheap except of course the tourist market.

Cuba is extremely safe. I absolutely loved my time there but interestingly, the food was awful. This aside though, it was a sensational trip that nothing else compares to.

I went on my first solo trip to Cayo Coco. It felt safe and I was just chilling by myself which was great. I hung around the resort and would go to the beach during the daytime to keep myself safe.

When you visit Cuba, it feels like you're taking a step back in time. The classic cars and beautiful architecture add to the charm of the country, but what I loved the most was the way people interacted with each other. Instead of being glued to their phones or social media, people would sit and have genuine conversations. I really enjoyed spending time with the locals and learning about Cuba's blended culture and rich history. There's something truly magical about the Havana nights that you just have to experience for yourself.

Absolutely loved Cuba. Spent 3 weeks there. I explored Vinnales, Havana, Varedero, and Trinidad. Trinidad was my least favorite. I stayed in Casa (all great experiences - booked on AirBnB), participated in walking tours, several hikes, horseback to tobacco farms (learned to roll and smoked cigars) and beach time! I also had my car transfers set up before I arrived so it was super easy and no stress.

I loved Cuba. Travelled with a private tour agency because I wanted to travel 4 places in one week and didn't have time or energy to do everything myself. Cuba hotels are expensive if u don't want to do casa particular which was my case. Travelled to Havana, vinalez, Cienfuegos and Trinidad. Did only one day at the beach and I wasn't impressed. One thing that I found hard was the double currency.
