Destination of the Day Cuba Some countries take more planning to visit than others. [Cuba]( is one of them, especially if you’re traveling on a U.S. passport. A charming Caribbean island nation trapped in time, it’s a place where the most beautiful cars of the 1950s and 1960s fill the streets, good Wi-Fi is hard to find, and major Western brands are all but absent. The Cuban capital, [Havana]( is the center of Cuban cultural life. It’s home to museums, art galleries, and an opulent theater housing the Cuban National Ballet. Havana also is home to countless [hole-in-the-wall restaurants]( a handful of top-notch jazz clubs, a growing number of galleries and boutiques, and more mojitos than you can drink. But there’s [far more to Cuba]( than Havana. [Pristine beaches]( architectural gems, diving, snorkeling, and off-the-grid cultural experiences are waiting just outside the city and beyond. Vacation Like a Pro WiFi is available in Cuba, but accessing it won’t be free or easy. To get online in Cuba, you’ll need to both be in a place with a WiFi network and buy a prepaid Internet access card. These scratch-off cards are available at government telecom shops, hotels, and many Airbnbs. Several restaurants, bars, and coffee shops have WiFi networks as do some public parks. See a bunch of people on their phones in the park? Chances are it’s one with Wi-Fi. Access typically costs $1 to $2 an hour.

With 20 percent picaridin included in the formula, you can rest assured that you’ll have all-day protection from those pesky critters. September and October fall within Cuba’s rainy season.
