Question

I was thinking of going there in october - was it worth it, what did you see/do?

Answer 1

Cuba is wonderful, by all means be sure to go to Havana, most people say it's the highlight of their visit.  Check out the links below  for lots of info.

Answer 2

I thought Cuba was absolutely amazing - we stayed in Varedero and it was fab!!  Went on a Catermeran cruise, swam with dolphins, went into Havana, which is so different and a great experience.  So much to do there and the people are amazing - they LOVE to dance!!

Answer 3

October is during hurricane season - so there is a risk that a trip then could be affected.

Cuba is wonderful. (I live in Havana). The music, the dance, the rhythm !!

Answer 4

My partner and I love Cuba. Activity wise, it depends what you like to do, I'm sure you'll find plenty to occupy yourself. Water sports are a very good option, area tours, walking, general sight seeing. Have fun.

Answer 5

I went to Havana and Varadero back in 2004. Cuba is amazing. I did a lot. I toured Havana (loved Old Havana), went to Chinatown, visited the Plaza of the Revolution, went to a baseball game, restaurants, walked the Malecon, went clubbing and visited several museums and cultural institutions. In Varadero, I spent a lot of time on the beach. Varadero is more of a resort area. If you want to get a real feel of Cuban culture and be around mostly Cubans, definitely do Havana. Varadero has many Canadians, Europeans, and South Americans on vacation. Nevertheless, the experience was amazing. I was lucky I got to go and visit Castro Cuba because I'm American and travel restrictions to the island are very stringent for us.

Answer 6

You will love Cuba.  You will get some rain in October and maybe a hurricane.  Try to spend most of the time in Havana.  If you want to watch people from France, Italy, Germany, Spain, go to Varadero.  If you want to go to a local beach just go to Playas del Este, (east of Habana) like Playa Santamaría or Bocaciega.  Best luck.
