Cuba

Since the 1960s, the island of Cuba has held a special place in the hearts of Russians. Known as Liberty Island, Cuba has always attracted tourists with its heroic history and the extraordinary beauty of its coastline.

Cuba, part of the Antilles archipelago, consists of more than one and a half thousand islands. It is the largest island in the group, boasting 1,250 km of coastline characterized by beautiful coves and surrounded by coral reefs. Tours to Cuba are popular among tourists from all countries, with beach holidays being the primary attraction.

Havana is the capital of Cuba. The country is mostly flat, with no high mountains. Its tropical climate allows for year-round beach vacations. In winter, water temperatures average around 25 degrees Celsius, while the air temperature can reach 32 degrees. Spring and summer in Cuba are very hot, with temperatures rising up to 37 degrees Celsius and frequent rainfall.

Tourists who purchase last-minute tours to Cuba can enjoy significant savings and derive even more pleasure from their visit to this exotic location.

Cuba is served by five international airports, and there are local airports in every city. The country has motorways and a limited number of railways.

It's important for tourists to note that public transport in Cuba is extremely unreliable. Buses do not run on a fixed schedule and are often overcrowded, making it difficult to board them. It is advisable to use a tourist taxi or rent a car if necessary.

Russian tourists can enter Cuba without a visa for up to thirty days. All that is required is a valid foreign passport and, preferably, medical insurance. This simplified entry process attracts a large number of travelers from Russia, especially those who manage to purchase last-minute deals to Cuba. Duty-free allowances include jewelry, personal computers, sports equipment, 10 kg of any medicines, two bottles of alcoholic beverages, and 10 packs of cigarettes. Tourists can also take 50 Cuban cigars out of the country. The local currency is the peso, and currency exchange is readily available.
