Cuba is very safe for its residents and tourists. This is also because Cubans know how important tourists are for the economy in their country. However, we recommend paying attention to the following:
Don’t walk alone through completely unfamiliar parts of town. Valuables such as expensive jewelry, camera equipment, etc. should be carried hidden on your body or, ideally, left in the hotel safe, especially if you are traveling at night or in poorly lit areas.
We recommend that you also make a copy of your passport and leave all original documents, identification papers, flight tickets and large sums of money in the hotel safe. Fraud and theft are becoming more and more common, and occasionally robberies or violent crimes are also occurring.
For Cuban airports, we recommend carrying valuable items in your hand luggage.
You should also be careful in the event of a flat tire and at gas stations, as thieves take advantage of the distraction of vehicle occupants when changing tires or refueling to steal valuables and luggage unnoticed.
In principle, Cuba is a very safe long-distance travel destination. The country can be easily traveled on your own. Of course, the same rules apply in Cuba as when traveling in any other country. It is best to carry your wallet on your body. Valuables such as cameras and cell phones should be held tightly if you carry them openly. Always keep an eye on your valuables on the beach and be very cautious of hitchhikers who want a ride.
Do not carry all your cash with you, it is best to spread it out over several places on your body. The amount of money you are carrying should not be displayed. Just as in the big cities of other countries, more caution is required in Havana and Santiago de Cuba than in other areas. Since hurricanes or earthquakes can occur in Cuba, you should also pay attention to the regional weather forecasts and familiarize yourself with advice on what to do in the event of an earthquake.
BLOCKING EMERGENCY NUMBER: Germans can have their debit cards, credit cards, cell phones and some other electronic authorizations blocked using the blocking emergency number +49 116 116. The caller is connected to the publishers of the respective media, provided they have joined the blocking emergency number. It is best to save the number in your cell phone. A list of the connected publishers can be found on the Internet at www.sperr-ev.de.
To get a good overview of the entry requirements, travel and safety information for Cuba, we recommend that you visit the website of the Federal Foreign Office.
Entry for Germans, Austrians and Swiss (short version):
A tourist card is required to enter the country. The tourist card entitles you to a maximum stay of 30 days. Business travelers require a visa. The tourist card can be obtained from a Cuban foreign representation, such as an embassy or consulate, around 3 weeks before departure, or through us. You will also need:
Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the stay (a temporary passport is also valid)
Proof of valid international health insurance (in Spanish)
Proof of accommodation
Return or onward travel tickets
sufficient funds are necessary
Due to the enormous differences in income and purchasing power between tourists and locals, tips are very important. For many people working in tourism, they are the main source of income and often amount to several times the actual salary, which in Cuba, depending on the profession, is between 150 and around 1000 Cuban pesos per month (equivalent to around 6-40 US dollars). We recommend not being too lavish with tips. A factory worker has to work for 24 CUP (= 1 US dollar) for a day. The porter in the hotel earns this amount in 5 minutes thanks to a generous tourist. A little tact is required here.
We are often asked for useful souvenirs for the people of Cuba.
Body care products, deodorant, soap, perfume, etc. are welcome gifts because they are either very expensive locally or the quality leaves much to be desired. Writing utensils, balloons (for the children) and sweets are also welcome.
However, we recommend that you do not hand out such small gifts indiscriminately on the street, but give them away on suitable occasions (to hosts, particularly friendly or helpful people). As long as you do not overdo it with the quantities, customs will not be interested in them when you enter the country. Alternatively, you can support a local social project and, for example, take on a sponsorship with Kuba Hilfe in order to ensure that disadvantaged children receive a good education.
