Cuba has the lowest crime rate and is considered the safest country in the world. Nonetheless, we recommend that you use the safety deposit boxes available in most hotels. We advise you make a photocopy of your passport prior to your departure and carry it with you on outings and leave your original passport in the hotel lock box along with extra money, travelers checks and airline tickets. Normal precautions for foreign travel should be followed.
No. Travellers must make all the necessary arrangements at the Cuban Consulate in their country of origin. They can also buy a Tourist Card directly in the airport before departure.
