About the Book

Picture
You're going to Havana on a cruise, weekend getaway, or business trip and you might only have a day or two to explore the city. Traditional travel guides are packed with useful information. But they're written for someone who has more time than you do. Online review sites, message boards, and blogs are filled with detailed recommendations, but they are hard to sift through for the best advice. 
12 Hours in Havana: Build your perfect day in Cuba is a fuss-free approach to travel that makes exploring a city fun and carefree. Think of this guide as an activity planner with mini itineraries to mix and match. Greg's organized Havana's best attractions, restaurants, and shops by their proximity to each other. He's even added customizable options for active travelers who like to get off the beaten path. Plus, there's some history, culture, and practical advice for making the most of your time in Havana. 
As a guide on the first cruise to Cuba from the USA in half a century, Greg has led countless tours in Havana. He knows what's worth your time and what's not. He's eager for you to experience Cuba's culture on your own terms.
12 Hours in Havana teaches you how to:
  • See the best of Havana without booking a tour
  • Navigate the city on your own without the internet
  • Overcome the language barrier without knowing Spanish
While answering all of your questions:
  • Which museum should I visit? Hear the pros and cons of each
  • Where should I eat and shop? Visit tasty restaurants and unique stores
  • How do I ride in a classic car? Follow my routes and don't get overcharged​
  • What about the beach? Havana's best beach is only 20-minutes away
