Which is a better holiday destination - Mexico City or Havana?

Question

Thinking of going to either Mexico City/Los Angeles(on same trip) or Cuba or Puerto Rico next year. Flying from Dublin, Ireland.

Answer 1

Havana, by far.  "Going to Cuba is like going to another country."  Quote me on that.  What I mean is Mexico City and PR have all the same shops, stores and tourist attractions.  Cuba is unique and well worth the trip!

Answer 2

MEXICO CITY!!!!

massive surreal lovely city!!!

and if you want the beach

Acapulco is only 3 hours away by car for a weekend getaway

Answer 3

Mexico for me..so darn laid back..had time of my life :-)

Answer 4

I would recommend Cuba.  Its a beautiful place to see along with loads of history.  It is also an exciting time as Castro is still alive however not active as the leader as of this year.  You may not have this opportunity again so I would highly recommend it.  You will need to fly via Jamacia and prepare to overnight either the going or return segment.

Puerto Rico is great and fun, however can also be seen on your way to LA and Mexico.

Answer 5

Cuba for sure. For one thing, Cuba is very safe...especially in comparison to Mexico and L.A.

But Cuba simply gorgeous and the historical culture there is fascinating. Yet, the most enjoyable time you will have in Cuba is getting to know the people. They are very warm and hospitable, hard-working people who have an infectious zest for life no matter what they face.

You will not regret Cuba at all.

Answer 6

I'd love to go to Havana but it is still illegal for U.S. Citizens to travel there.  Mexico City is supposed to be good, but bad air pollution.
