Cuba is a relatively safe country to visit, with petty crime such as pickpocketing the biggest problem. Avoid carrying valuables where they might easily be snatched and never flash expensive jewelry or cameras. If you rent a vehicle, don’t leave valuables visible on the seats or in the trunk, and always park your car in a secure/guarded place if possible.    Travelers who are concerned about their safety should explore Cuba with a reputable tour company for peace of mind. Current travel warnings are issued by the U.S. Department of State and should be checked before booking flights.
