In terms of transportation, its possible to rent cars, taxis, or private drivers. We personally recommend taxis - many of which are modern Mercedes Benz and are reasonably priced. Many people mistakenly believe it is cheaper to hire private drivers but we found that their services are not much cheaper, if at all, and their cars are not as dependable as state supported and licensed taxis. The other option is to rent a car from Cubacar where you will have a wide selection of cars to choose from. This would be particularly useful and economical if you intend to take day trips to Playa del Este, Varadero, or the Pinar del Rio.
Nightlife is synonymous with Havana and there is definitely a lot to choose from.
Dancers and performing artists abound on stage while Cuban music fills the air. Discos have always been popular within Cuba and the Havana Club, inside the Comodoro Hotel, the outdoor 1830 nightclub are excellent choices to dance the night away. These are only a few of our suggestions and are for Havana only. We certainly encourage you to visit the other areas of the country, including Varadero, Vinales, Cayo de Coco, Trinidad and Santiago de Cuba. In fact, our good friends from Cubanacan can help you with all your lodging, dining,and rental car needs.
