Conoce la conectividad, el coste y la vida cotidiana para nómadas digitales en Havana.
Havana, Cuba's capital suspended in time, is a feast for the senses where colonial grandeur elegantly crumbles. It is a city defined by the rhythm of salsa escaping from the windows, the roar of classic American cars, the aroma of tobacco and rum, and the unwavering energy of its people. From the majesty of Old Havana to the melancholy of the Malecón, it is an experience that captivates and transforms.

The Cuban economy is complex for tourists. It is essential to carry enough cash (Euros or Dollars) to change. Prices vary enormously between state services and private services ('paladares', 'casas particulars'), which usually offer better quality.

Internet access is through NAUTA prepaid cards, which are purchased at the ETECSA offices. Wi-Fi is only available in designated public parks and squares, and in some luxury hotels (often with their own cards).
Tourists can buy a Cubacel Tur SIM at the airport. It's expensive but offers a better option than relying on Wi-Fi parks. Offline planning is crucial.

Be wary of cheap cigar offers on the street (they are often fake) and always check your bill in restaurants. Ask for a menu with prices to avoid surprises.
