Security in Cuba
© Pontfire
Cuba is one of the safest countries in all of Central America. This is largely due to the strong presence of the security forces in the streets of the country.
In the streets with the most tourist influx, you will always find policemen who will watch over your safety and will attend you very attentively in case of any misfortune.
Even being one of the safest countries in the entire area, you should not overly trust yourself and neglect your belongings, since in the most touristy areas there is also a greater possibility of thefts, therefore you should not neglect your belongings in no time.
Cuban citizens are characterized by their great kindness and their open way of being, therefore they themselves will be the first to warn you about which areas you should avoid and those areas through which you can move with greater tranquility.
If you follow a series of precautions, no misfortune should happen to you during your stay in Cuba:
Do not display objects of great value or display large amounts of money in public.
Do not lose sight of your belongings in public places or where there is a large influx of people or on public transport.
