Group travel experience
Havana was pretty cool. I definitely recommend visiting la bodeguita del medio, its where they invented the Mojito. We also went to a place called Mojito Mojito, which was touristy, but they had the most delicious Cuban sandwich ever. You can negotiate to cost of riding in the 1950s car, I recommend doing that tour, they take you everywhere important and I think we ended up paying $30 for 4 of us to go! The rum is cheap, like $3 for a huge bottle cheap, we drank rum and sat on the Malecone. Everybody was very nice and I felt safe.
Havana is unbeatable. I would recommend staying in a casa with a family if you can (I stayed in a hotel at the end and preferred seeing how locals lived!). I also went to a few other places in Cuba as well (including one resort at the end) but Havana was my absolute fave. I'd leave a lot of time just to explore and see the sights.
