Before you go to Cuba
- Travel insurance is compulsory to enter Cuba, and you may be asked for proof. We use True Traveller.
- D’Viajeros form: complete Cuba’s online D’Viajeros entry form before you fly.
- Cash: card payments can be unreliable, and US-linked cards don’t work, so bring cash (euros are easiest) and check the latest advice before you go.
- Connectivity: internet is improving but patchy, so download offline maps before you arrive.
