BEST TRAVEL GUIDES IN THE WORLD!!!
We bought this guide at the airport on our way to Cuba. Having purchased Time-out & Berlitz guides and been underwhelmed by them, we were thrilled with the content of this guide. Not only do you get excellent pictures, the writing is really descriptive and very helpful to those tentative travellers who want to see a bit more of the country they are visiting. I imagine they would also be perfect for seasoned travellers and backpackers with sections dedicated to Havana and main province towns. It also gives invaluable tips that even our tour guides missed out, like the old man on the steps of Capitolio who takes black & white pictures of tourists for 2 Pesos. As it is small enough to be carried about with you in a bag or long pocket and also gives tips on good souveniers to bring back we think this is the perfect travelling companion to take to on your Cuban holiday. We will be purchasing more of the Eyewitness guides, whether we intend visiting the country/city or not as they make fantastic reading!!

Comprehensive and Fascinating
This truly is a thorough and comprehensive travel guide, giving readers not only a great idea of what to expect when they visit Cuba, but also a great deal of other information regarding the scenery of Cuba, it's social and political history, it's key political figures, and a wealth of information on it's art and culture.

All of which is rich and fascinating, creating a picture of an intriguing country of great warmth and openness; a country which is well worth visiting, if only for the pure white sand and the nature which is a veritable feast for poets and painters. This book will tell you pretty much everything you could possibly need to know about Cuba. Read it and read about an entirely different way of life.

Useful guide around Havana
If you like the Eyewitness Travel Guide format then you should find this an extremely useful book to take with you on a visit to Cuba. Of course it can't fit in every detail or you wouldn't be able to carry it around easily - and the currency information has changed now, but on the whole we found this a very informative, up to date and easy to use guide for a week in Havana and definitely worth buying.
