Cuba on your own: Old Havana and the Malecón, tobacco farms and mogotes in Viñales, French Cienfuegos and colonial Trinidad with music on the steps. Casas particulares, Víazul buses and shared taxis. Cuba is harder going today than it used to be, so this guide also covers what you need to know. Book everything yourself and keep this guide on your phone: it works offline.
