Cuba

Cuba is live on Travelog with one city, Havana, home to Old Havana and its Fortification System, UNESCO World Heritage-listed in 1982. As of 2026, the US embargo on Cuba remains in effect, and tourism travel by US citizens is still prohibited by statute; legal travel requires falling under one of the US Treasury's 12 approved license categories.

Cuba's UNESCO heritage is genuine and significant, but this guide leads with the current legal picture for US-based travelers before anything else, the same honest-disclosure standard already applied to Ukraine's safety context in this site's Europe coverage. The city's own story is covered in full below.
