Keep in mind that Viazul is designed for tourists. Cubans can use the national bus system (which is even cheaper) or Viazul, but mostly use the national system. The Viazul buses are a little nicer, although by American standards they are second tier. I have found them acceptable.
The Viazul terminal used to be across the street from the Zoo. Indeed, much of the internet information still references it as such. However, shortly before the pandemic, the Viazul terminal was moved into the National Bus Terminal, which is in Vedado. (Which I think is actually more convenient.) I suggest double checking on its location. Your taxi driver will know. Just make sure he understands that you are looking for Viazul (not just the bus terminal).
There will likely be a stop half way through your trip, wherever you are going. It will be much longer than necessary for a rest stop, as the bus driver will get a free meal for stopping there.
Viazul is a good way to see the country. Enjoy your trip.

Posts: 20Viazul bus for US citizen
How do I book Viazul bus ticket as a US citizen. Their website doesn't accept US issued CC.
Is paying in cash or asking somebody else to book on my behalf and paying a premium in Cuba a possibility.
BTW: I will be in Havana from Feb 4 - 6 and Feb 11-12. Any body else there. Would love to buy a beer and meet some of the senior members.

I am not bothering to check my facebook profile anymore because I am overwhelmed with hot Cuban girl friend requests. I don't have time to bother with them. If even one in ten are real, then I am ready to go. But first I want to see some good detailed reports from mongers on the ground. How much money do the girls want? How are casa owners reacting to female overnight guests? Are the police chasing girls always from foreigners?
For what it's worth, this Facebook photo gives a very positive impression and mentions the exact location of the festivities.

To be in the safe side, do not believe everything the government there says. They tend to be a whole lot better on "paper" than in real life. My daughter is ready to go to Haiti if she could. She scared me the other day, she told me "if I find a reliable about, I'll be on the way, no second thoughts. ".

Posts: 10Havana
As things start to return to normalcy I'm keen to establish which Havana bars / clubs are already back in operation and busy with local interest. I have a trip planned for end January, and whilst I still have a list of spots from previous visits (last one in 2018) I'm aware that some of these will probably have shut down altogether, others may not yet have reopened, but new ones have sprung up instead. Could anyone point me in the right direction for the best bars in have to find some high quality action in the next couple of weeks please.

Took mine last Saturday, and had my result at 2 pm on Sunday.
Having spent a month in Cuba without seeing barely any tourists, also knowing that it's the second most vaccinated country in the world (after the UAE), and 99% of Cubans wearing masks, inside and outside, I would have been pretty unlucky to test positive. LOL.
Can't wait to go back.

Posts: 249Here are links to more profiles of Cuban women. I have tried to choose those which in my opinion look more "real" however I cannot personally vouch for anyone. I am hoping that hard working members will soon make the sacrifice and do the needed research, up close and personal. I am also wondering if Facebook is the best method to find women today in Cuba or are there other better ways of doing it. I just keep sending as many friend request as facebook will allow. I am now over a thousand female Cuban facebook friends and for the past couple of weeks I have about ten more each day sending me friend requests. I have a feeling that Cuban girls are now using this actively as a way to market themselves; sort of a covert Cuban backpage or Craig's list.
