Capital City: Havana
Population: 11 million
Language: The official language of Cuba is Spanish, and most Cubans speak it or what is rather known as ‘Cuban Spanish’, a form of Caribbean Spanish. Haitian Creole is the second most spoken language in Cuba, and is spoken by Haitian immigrants and their descendants.
Currency:  Cuban Peso (CUP). Money can only be exchanged in Cuba itself. In Cuba, there is no difference in the exchange rates at different locations (hotels, airports, banks, exchange booths in the street), but we recommend your travellers do so at hotels. If they are not staying in a hotel for the first stay (part) of their trip, our representative in Havana as well as our guides are advised to take them to a hotel so that they can exchange their foreign currency.
All tourists visiting Cuba need to obtain a tourist visa for entry. If in Europe or Latin America, they can be purchased from the airline. It costs 25 USD to 75 USD. Some airlines, like Canadian ones, already include the tourist card in the airfare and it is provided to all passengers during the flight.
For US travellers (and other international travellers flying to Cuba from a US airport), it is already included in your package with Discova, and will be sent to the travellers days or even weeks before their trip, or hand-delivered at the airport if flying out of MIA (Miami International Airport).
The tourist visa card is valid for 30 days and can be extended for a second 30-day period.
