Havana

[AmorPorFavor]

Drop me a DM if anyone wants to meet for a drink!

Can you provide some info on the situation in Havana. I'm sure the chicas are still available but what about everything else? Bars and clubs open? How is the food and water availability? How are the restaurants doing? Power shut offs? Gasoline for taxis? I heard you can't find bottled water anymore, that's a big problem.

Ill have feet on the ground Sunday. Hoping to once again fall in love with Havana. Planning to mostly relax and get some work done.

Are there any locations anyone wants me to check if its still open?

Can someone whose recently been there tell me what currency is accepted in dutyfree?

Fair point. But the country has been open to foreigners since last November. And some foreigners live there part of nearly full-time.

Surely, somebody must have some intel to share about the current scene. Two years is not that long of a time, but Cuba is no exception to the fact that the world was utterly different 2+ years ago. So, I ask again, what's the scene in Havana these days?

Cheers mate.

The lack of reporting tells me everything I need to know. I've been staying in contact with a few people who live there and they don't recommend I come now.

In fact I'm hearing more people are trying to get you. I personally know 3 people who have relocated to Europe.

Cuba is having a hard time now, so I really have need to rush there for now.

BTW, they just opened up to limited foreign investors.

If you were there 2 years ago you probably are one of the most recent.

I really wish this board was not so dead. I've been going to Cuba for decades, seen the good and the bad, and will be back for the first time in 2 years soon.

I'm looking for insider tips about what's out there these days, what prices are like, experiences, and more??

Best bars for meeting chicas? Best neighborhoods for meeting chicas?

Any tips would be appreciated and I'll report back.

Anyone that is savvy and confident can negotiate Cuba. Don't rely on and get hung up on what was in the past. Come to Cuba and adapt to the changing conditions. There is enough information out there (multiple sources) to make an informed decision.

I was probably contacted by the same girl (s) for 50 euro per girl and wondering the same, it would be fun.
Also does anyone have contacts of recommended girls in Havana?

So one of the girls was a blonde, slim; slender sent a photo of her minus the face on a sideward angle; and she sent a photo of her friend from behind on the bed. I also received a picture of both of them at what appears to be a club. They initially just gave me the rate in CUP; 7000 for overnight; 10,000 for sex again in the morning. Are these the girls?

I only really wanted the blonde, but she insisted on working with her friend; I mean, I've done worse but not usually when paying for it. Still mumbling it over at booking a last-minute trip; anybody in the area right now? I've got 2 5's at my best that want the cock for free; but I am not sure if I want the nightmares over it.

MongerHunger thanks for the info sounds like theres some work to do out there.

Is the 23 ave jazz club open with the english telephone entrance?

How are the cigar prices?

Is anyone out there right now that can give an update on the electricity situation? How bad is it? This is my biggest concern about planning my trip.

I found a good article about Cuba increasing exchange rates!

LaGruta can make a regular night into heaven LOL.

Strongly considering a trip in the coming time, hoping for some normalcy out there.

Anybody with feet on the ground that can give a report of what its like out there?

How is La Rampa night life?

How are the restaurant and chica prices?

Is the oil fire causing blackouts in Havana?

Is it better to convert to pesos or just use USD? I also have 50 cucs, are they still any use?

Would appreciate any details aa to what its like out there in todays world.

Thanks for the question!

I have not been to havana since pre-andemic and would appreciate tips on best areas, bars, etc.

Anywhere like La Rampa, Malecon, anywhere else in Vedado? Don't like to go to Miramar, but are there any great spots there?

Any good bars in La Rampa area? La Gruta used to go fun on rare occasions.

What else?

Thanks!

La Rampa (23rd) and calle L where the 24 hour La Rampa cafeteria is. In that area you can find chicas. Also near Parque El Quijote. The cafeteria is reasonably priced. 400 pesos for a meal. I went with the chicken breast, also comes with a drink. 100 pesos for 1 USD is the norm but not at official government exchange locations. You will get 24/1. I heard from locals that you can still exchange CUC at banking locations but expect to probably get 24/1. Best to negotiate with a local or taxi driver. Most places take USD and will give pesos back in change 100/1. Same with taxis if you want change in pesos. Cubacel sim cards are 1000 pesos and are good for like 330 days unless you continue to load it to extend service. You can load phones on Ding. Taxis are cheap. I was able to get around for 300 pesos average. Also took coco taxi.
