This guide features extensive coverage of Cuba's biggest city, Havana, including six maps, hundreds of listings and detailed takes on the best museums. This is matched by coverage of less well-known small towns in the interior, where the authors track down the island's offbeat charms. Cuba's bureaucratic state can make it a difficult place to travel and this guide contains helpful advice on working the system. There is also full coverage of Cuba's colourful history and culture, as well as tips on Cuban slang and local customs.

Excellent travel guide. Particularly good to look at when you get back! For me it brought back many happy memories. ( )
