Informative Travel Guide to Cuba
Lonely Planet is known for their travel books and they do not disappoint with their version on Cuba. The book is very informative with all the travel information that you will need to plan and execute a trip to Cuba. The book covers the basic information a tourist would need in the country like currency and hits all the major cities and destinations with lodging, food, fun, and activities that you may want to partake in. Each area has a map to see where you are in comparison to other cities and the book includes a very nice full map of Havana. I really liked that they include ideas in prices for each place listed so you can plan money wise how much you will need. I found this a very easy and must have guide for anyone looking to go to Cuba. The only thing I would have liked to see would be more reviews on lodging, food, etc because I know nothing of the area and sometimes the basic information does not cover it.I received this book at a discount for my unbiased review and opinion. Opinions expressed are 100% my own and may differ from yours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gracias a Lonely Planet
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016

Lonely Planet's Cuba Travel Guide was wonderful. The two guys who wrote this guide and their adventurous Cuban driver were outstanding. There were two books about Cuba that were invaluable to me in traveling and trying to understand a little about this fascinating country. One was Julia Zweig's book, "What everyone should know about Cuba" and Lonely Planet. Two examples: Lonely Planet's description of Cuba as "A Prince in Tattered Clothing" couldn't have been more accurate. But what I found both amusing and impressive was the accurate detail about this quickly changing country. There is a hotel in Cienfuegos that Lonely Planet mentioned that had tennis courts but no fence to stop the balls from rolling away as far as their momentum would take them. We went to the hotel and saw the two tennis courts which had no fences to stop the tennis balls exactly as described in Lonely Planet. What a useful guide. ¡¡¡Gracias a Lonely Planet!!!

This was our go-to guide while we were in Cuba. Apparently it was everyone else's favorite guidebook too, as we saw it often on our trip. Covers a lot of areas, lots of information... Note that the restaurants in Havana that they recommend are likely going to be booked if you don't get an early reservation. Seems like every tourist goes to those restaurants. We didn't use their accommodations recommendations, it was nicer to stay in Casa Particulares and enjoy the company of the locals with home cooked meals instead of the super-slow service at government-run restaurants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary for DIY/Budget Travelers
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book was invaluable in our travels. We were exploring Cuba on our own, making our own itinerary and arrangements without the help of tour guides and this book really helped make it all possible. The information on different ways to get to different places, how long it would take, and prices were especially important to us. It helped us find cheap "collectivos" which are semi-private cab collectives that you share with other travelers. We were trying to stay on a small budget so this type of information was invaluable to us and it'd be hard to find this type of information elsewhere, especially in one handy-dandy book. This book provides a wide range of price points for lodging and food which is very nice. We didn't use the book to find lodging (we did that online) but did get some ideas for places to eat (which was neatly organized by neighborhoods/towns. We used this book to find a great hike in Vinales as well as cool city squares to hang out in. I love the suggested daily walking itinerary which we followed to get a good walking tour of the towns/neighborhoods on our own. We used this book every day in Cuba. The maps were top notch. This is a must have for DIY travellers to Cuba.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for Cuba
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2017

Great guide in deed.

Keep in mind the Cuba timming: everything is slower in Cuba.
The restaurant suggestions are amaising. For the restaureants hightly recomended here I would go there in the morning or the day before and book a table. Otherwise there is no way to get in. Also those restaurants are usually places to find other tourists (you can spot them from the lonely planet books on their tables). Some find this to subsract from the experience. I find it a great way to meet other people and make traveling companions.

One last point is the varadero diving spots. In the book it says that the diving is free and if one needs an instructor they can pay for it. When we arrived (May 2016) they told us that we need to pay 15 CUC per person for instructor and grear. It took a great deal of convinsing and pointing to the book to make it 5 per person for the instructor (since we had our own gear). They also insisted that it was like this for years, so we pointed to the publishing date of the book that was 6 months prior and finally they accepted our offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Trip Companion
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2016

With little to no access to the internet conveniently, this guidebook came in handy several times on our trip. I especially liked how the writers chose to not only focus on all the more renown places/restaurants/bars in each city, but included some lesser-known, equally as awesome spots in which I now hold fond memories.

The sections covering Cuban history and customs was also really insightful. It gave us a clearer background and better understanding of this wonderfully vibrant and beautiful culture. Until accessibility to the internet here becomes as widespread as many other parts of the world, I would really recommend taking this book to help guide your trip!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cuba is in a state of change and nothing there seems carved in stone, or even in Jello(R).

Just returned from Cuba and this was the only guide we could find on the subject, and just about every tourist we saw carried this book. History section is useful to understanding the historic sights, but the prices, hours, and schedules in the book are not accurate to what is on the ground. I suspect that with the explosion in Cuban tourism no book will be able to keep up, but with almost no Internet access in the country (difficult and expensive when you can get it), a printed book is essential! Book needs updated to include more information for US Citizens. Just remember to pack your patience (and plenty of it), and enjoy Cuba.
