Havana

[Lenin]

You have a problem with it Lenin?

She is prostitute. You call her "my girl", send her money that she uses to fuck with other men, and every day wasting your time talking to useless woman. So who have a problem you or me?

Also, I saw you mentioned the ferry terminal area for food but were you also saying that might be another spot to be on the lookout for girls?

In Havana, women are everywhere and nowhere.

It is a matter of luck.

Being at the right time in the right place.

This also applies to the boat terminal.

A while ago I had a possibility there with a girl who served the customers.

I did not want her that day, but later I regretted it and returned 20 times, but I never saw her again.

Besides the Prado, another good street is San Rafael between Hotel Inglaterra and Galiano.

One can sit there and there are always a few chicas talking.

It is a busy street. I think the best time is at the closing time of the shops between 17 PM and 19 PM.

There is a square with Wi-Fi at the San Rafael and Galiano intersection.

Dozens of Cubans talk from that place with their families abroad.

There are benches. Occasionally sit there for half an hour and act as if you are checking your mail.

But in the meantime, watch the chicas passing by, to see if they give you a sign.

Great info! Sounds like there aren't any bars in the area to take my chances on then? It's my first time visiting Cuba so my expectations are unknown.

There are bars, clubs, outdoor patios, and rooftops to pick up women, drink, and listen to live music, right there in old Havana, right off of Prado and Neptuna. Day and night, the women are there to be had.

In old Havana there is no specific area.

You meet the chica's on the street and that is based on pure coincidence.

I sometimes go to the new boat terminal where the ferries cross the bay of Havana.

On the upper floor you can eat or drink cheaply. There is no police.

During the day many school girls in groups, who are not interested.

But if you walk down the Prado from Parque Central to the Malecon.

And you walk in the middle of the street between the trees, then between 6 PM and 11 PM there are always between 2 and 5 chica's that call you to your attention.

Hi there!

I'm heading to Havana very soon and staying in the Plaza Vieja area. Anyone have any suggestions on places nearby in that part of Old Havana to meet chicas? Thanks for any information!

I don't know when this site was updated, but they are quoting 120 CUC, Varadero. Havana. I'm guessing that was the price a couple years ago. I still say it's going to be around 200 CUC. The scam is with the Police, who stop the Taxi's and extort the drivers for 10 - 20 Cuc which gets passed on to you. Seen it happen many times.

https://airmundo.com/en/airports/varadero-airport/taxi/.

The price of 80 dollars stands / stood on a small yellow sign that hung / hung against one of the columns of the large roof where the entrance and exit of the building is and where the taxi drivers stand as a group.

The last time I saw this sign was in 2017 I think.

I don't know if it still hangs there, at 6 November I'm there then I'll look for the plate again.

It shows the prices of the taxi rides from the airport to Havana and 5 or 7 other cities.

I remember that the number 80 with a pen was changed to 90.

I went 25 or 25 times with a taxi to Havana and the taxi was never stopped by the police.

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can get a cheap taxi from Varadero airport to Havana center.

I arrive at 7 pm and need to get to my casa.

Buses are not going no more so I need to take a taxi.

Any suggestions?

What Might work out for you is searching for one of these buses taking travel groups to their hotels in Habana. In fact, normal buses don't drive anymore. Just ask around which bus goes to Habana and bribe the driver 20 cuc will do perfectly.

The regular price for a taxi Varadero airport to Havana is 80 CUC.

This was before the pertoleum shortige, and if you were alone in the taxi.

If there were 2 persons in the taxi I paid 40 CUC.

When you arive don't talk to individual drivers who are waiting in front of the airport.

Talk only to the person (sometimes a lady) who is in charge to assign the taxis.

Ask him / her for a collectivo to Havana.

When he / she finds more persons willing to go with a collectivo to Havana you pay only your part of the total price.

I went several times with a taxi to Havana but there are no scams along the way.

Sometimes the driver wanted to smoke cigarette, but then I stayed in the car.

Expect about a 2-3 hour drive to Havana (by taxi). I'm guessing that's going to set you back about 200 CUC. With the gas shortages and all. Also expect some sort of scam along the way that will set you back an additional 20 - 80 CUC. Have fun.

I found a little restaurant called Bone Ma on Calle 21 just off M in Vedado. If you park yourself on the veranda alongside the sidewalk in the mornings, there is a constant flow of pretty and friendly chicas passing by. And the food and drink wasn't bad either.

Thank you for the Restaurant recommendation I see they have great reviews. I will be checking it out. Cheers mate.

Thanks mate, I'll report back if I find anything worthy of doing so.
