Local Tips
Consider renting a car for flexibility, as public transit is limited. Parking in historic areas can be scarce, use public lots or ride-shares for convenience.
Cultural Etiquette
Tipping (15-20%) is customary at restaurants and for services. Dress is generally casual, but light, breathable clothing is recommended due to the warm climate. Respect historic sites by not touching or climbing on fragile structures.
Safety Warnings
Historic Downtown can get crowded and pickpocketing, while rare, may occur, watch your belongings. Beaches may have strong currents, swim only in marked safe areas. Some suburban areas have limited sidewalk access, so exercise caution when walking along roads.
Hidden Gems
Check out the St. Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine, the Guana Tolomato Matanzas (GTM) Research Reserve for nature trails and birdwatching, and the eclectic art galleries tucked away on Aviles Street.
