Local knowledge for Havana

Where to stay

Habana Vieja around Plaza Vieja and Calle Obispo puts you close to most sights and has the densest cluster of casas particulares. Centro Habana, especially along Calle Neptuno toward the Malecón, runs cheaper and feels less like a tour group circuit.

Getting around

  • Book casas particulares directly by messaging hosts on booking platforms then agreeing to pay cash on arrival. You cut the platform fee and the host earns more.
  • Skip the state-run restaurants on Obispo. Paladares in Vedado near La Rampa serve better food for half the price, and some will negotiate on slow afternoons.
  • Bring all the cash you need before you arrive. US credit and debit cards still do not work in Cuba, and the exchange rate at hotel desks is noticeably worse than at CADECA offices.

When to go

September and October see the fewest tourists and the lowest prices. December through March fills up fast, with the worst availability around Christmas and the last week of February.
