Cuba Travel Guide | A Blend of Vintage Charm and Caribbean Passion 🌴

Cuba, a country woven with colors and rhythms—from Havana’s vintage classic cars to the stunning sunsets by the sea, every moment feels like a scene from an old movie. Here’s a practical guide covering hotels, food, transportation, and photography spots to help you explore Cuba effortlessly～ 🏨 Hotel Recommendation: Kempinski Hotel Havana Key Advantage: Unbeatable location! Situated in a safe area of Havana, it’s within walking distance to Old Town and the Malecón. Surrounded by restaurants and convenience stores, you can stroll around safely even late at night. Facility Experience: Rooms feature a modern, upscale design with reliable air conditioning, hot water, and WiFi (top-tier in Cuba!). Some rooms have balconies offering city views. Tip: Early check-in costs around $110, but it’s worth it if you want to freshen up immediately after a long flight! 🍴 Food Exploration: Hits and Misses La Guardia Highlight: A "movie-worthy" spot in a residential area, featured in Havana Affair. The walls are adorned with old posters, creating a nostalgic vibe. Downside: Pricy—our meal cost about 120,000 pesos (not cheap in RMB), but the food was just "average." Seafood was fresh but bland, leaving little impression. Better for the ambiance. La Revolución An Italian restaurant with decent pizza and pasta, but eating Italian in Cuba feels underwhelming. Average value; skip unless you’re craving it. La Petit A hyped lobster spot that’s a total letdown! The lobster meat was tough, like overcooked "rubber bands," with plain seasoning. Not worth the hype—avoid it. Mojito Guide Skip the crowded "Bodeguita del Medio" (tourist trap with rushed mixes). Instead, find a local corner bar: muddle fresh mint with sugar, add soda and rum. First a burst of minty freshness, then rum’s richness, finishing with a sweet kick—layers of flavor that’ll get you tipsy nicely～ 🚗 Transportation Tips: Must-Try and Avoid Airport to City: Taxi: Most convenient at $25-30, 30-minute ride straight to your hotel—ideal if you have luggage. Pedicab: $1,000-2,000 pesos (about tens of RMB), but insist on a "whole car price" upfront! We encountered a driver who demanded per-person fees mid-ride—arguing ruined our mood, so stay alert! Vintage Car Tour: Highly recommended!! $25/hour, 3 hours is perfect. Pick a bright yellow or red classic car; the driver doubles as a guide, taking you to Revolution Square, cigar factories, and Hemingway’s . Colorful buildings and street performers pass by—every shot is a "vintage blockbuster." This is how you experience Cuba! Old Town Walk: Small enough to explore on foot—pastel colonial buildings, street murals, and elders fanning themselves at doorsteps. Head to the Malecón at sunset: watch the sky turn gold-red over the sea, with salty breezes—romance you’ll want to freeze. 📸 Photography Spots Revolution Square: The iconic Che Guevara and Castro murals make epic backdrops. Stand in the square for photos oozing historical depth. Vintage Cars + Retro Architecture: Ask your driver to stop on Old Town’s colorful streets. Pose by weathered walls or iron balconies in a floral dress—no filter needed for that vintage vibe. Sunset by the Sea: Havana’s sunsets are a "divine palette"—sky fading from orange-red to pink-purple, with classic car silhouettes on the water. Grab your camera and wait for the perfect shot! Cuba’s charm lies in classic car engines, Mojito bubbles, and locals’ warm smiles. Take it slow, soak it in, and you’ll fall for its unhurried, vintage romance～ Drop questions in the comments! #CubaTravel #Havana #KempinskiHotel #VintageCarTour #CubanFood #HavanaOldTown #TravelGuide #Mojito #Cigar #CaribbeanVibes #TravelDiaries #SunsetViews #RetroTravel
