Safety

Security in Cuba: although Cuba is a country with a low criminal rate, precautions must be taken to avoid thieves and pickpockets expecting some negligence in the control of personal objects, like wallets, cameras, suitcases and portfolios. In the streets there are enough police if something is needed.

Advice for tourists: when they go out for a walk just bring the necessary money; pay attention to your personal objects and shopping bags; in public places with agglomeration put your wallet and passport in the front pocket of the trousers; always check the bill in the restaurants; distrust the improvised "tour guides" they’re not professionals, many do not know the Cuban history and culture, and they are just friendly to cheat the tourists; keep your jewels and values in the hotel safe box.

Tours: the urban buses - among them the "camello" - are always full and their frequency is unpredictable. The best thing is to use taxis, tourist buses or by foot if the distances are short. If you wish to cross the island, the best thing is to rent a car. In order to rent one you must present the passport an international driver license, and a minimum age of 21 years old. It is recommended not to travel by night, and to take care with the animals in the countryside and with the bikers in the urban zones.
