UK Cautions: "Take care in central Havana at night. Use a taxi rather than walk, even if you’re only a few blocks away from your destination."
/On 18 May 2018, the Government of the United Kingdom issued an updated Travel Advice for the Republic of Cuba.
The Travel Advice included the following passage:
"Car-related crime and muggings occur from time to time, not only in Havana but also in Santiago de Cuba and other areas. Take care in central Havana at night. Use a taxi rather than walk, even if you’re only a few blocks away from your destination. There have been attacks on foreigners in hire cars after their tyres have been deliberately punctured. If you get a puncture in a remote area, drive on to a town before stopping. Don’t stop for hitch-hikers as they’ve also been known to carry out attacks."
