Local tip from Cuba

If you’re staying at an all inclusive resort near Havana, consider venturing out for an afternoon in the Vedado neighborhood. It’s a short ride away and offers a more modern Cuban vibe with cafés and vintage cinemas that locals enjoy. While resorts often provide entertainment and food, touching down into town gives you a better sense of the everyday life here. It’s also easier to beat the midday heat by exploring shaded parks or grabbing a coffee in a quieter spot. Just remember, taxis aren’t always plentiful in the quieter seasons, so plan your trip timing accordingly.
