that you should know if you are travelling to 🇨🇺 Cuba
1.- **Greetings**: It’s customary to greet everyone with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek.

3.- **Politeness**: Saying “please” (por favor) and “thank you” (gracias) is very important.
4.- **Sharing**: Sharing food, drinks, and personal items is common and expected.
5.- **Hospitality**: Cubans are known for their hospitality and will often invite visitors into their homes.
6.- **Punctuality**: Being late is more accepted in Cuba than in many other cultures.
7.- **Ci**rs**: If offered a cigar, it’s polite to accept, even if you don’t smoke.
8.- **Tipping**: Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory. Small gestures or gifts are also common.
9.- **Music and Dance**: Music is a big part of Cuban culture, so don’t be shy to join in if invited to dance.
10.-**Political Conversations**: Avoid discussing politics, as it can be a sensitive and complex topic.
