Cuba is a country with a complicated, yet fascinating history. For years, the trade embargo prevented US citizens from visiting the Caribbean Island. But in 2016, everything changed when the restrictions were lifted.

And although the rules changed yet again in 2019, visiting the mysterious island is not impossible. Before you plan a visit, make sure to check on regulations and restrictions in place, as things are subject to change.

Less than a hundred miles away from the United States, the minute you arrive, you feel as if you’ve been transported back to the 1950s. With classic convertibles lining the streets, crumbling Spanish facades, and live street music on every corner, it’s no wonder it has become so popular with tourists from all over the world.
