If you’re dreaming of a destination that effortlessly blends vibrant culture, sultry rhythms, and breathtaking landscapes, then Cuba is calling your name. It’s a country frozen in time, where classic cars parade through the streets and colourful colonial architecture whispers tales of history.

However, Cuba is not the easiest destination to travel through. From navigating visa requirements to limited access to the internet, it’s important to be prepared for the challenging aspects of Cuban travel.

Cuba has a reputation for being an expensive vacation destination, but I found plenty of ways to save money while I was on the island. If you’re going to be travelling on a tight backpacker budget, you’ll find you can get by for as little as $20 a day. As a mid-range traveller, I spent $120 a day. And if you’re looking for a taste of luxury, the sky’s the limit, but in general, you can expect to average $300 a day.

Today, I’m going to be delving more into the costs of Cuba and sharing exactly how much I spent while travelling in the country. Additionally, I’ll be breaking down the typical prices you’ll encounter while you’re here, so that you can ensure that you’re fully-informed before you arrive in Havana — that’s something you’ll want to do, as finding a working ATM can be a pain in the ass, so it’s easier to just bring cash with you.

Let’s get started.
