HomeComing to Havana and want to do some shopping?
Even mundane functional objects can be irritatingly elusive in Cuba so please remember to pack day-to-day essentials such as insect repellent, shower gel, razor blades and tampons. In general, it can be something of a relief to be free of the usual excesses of consumer culture, but, having said that, you should know that when you are willing to think outside the box, there are some wonderful treasures to be found in Cuba. When shopping for cigars or rum, please follow the recommendations of your Cuba Private Travel concierge to ensure you are always accessing the best quality that Cuba has to offer and if vinyl records appeal, we can even arrange for a dedicated private tour of the country’s very best record collections. Please see below some of our recommendations:
