I DON´T have a transfer, what do I have to do?
Your accommodation address in La Habana is stated in your voucher. We recommend to take a taxi from the airport to your accommodation which will cost about 25 CUC (its advisable to fix the price before you get on the taxi). The distance between the airport and the Sprachcaffe facilities is about 30km. Public transportin Cuba is unfortunately unreliable.
What is the currency on Cuba?
Currency changes took effect from Nov 8th 2004. The American Dollar is no longer accepted in Cuba. You must buy 'pesos convertibles' so called CUC at the airport, banks or at Money Exchange Offices.
What is the timetable?
Your timetable typically looks like this:
08.30 a.m. - 14.00 a.m. intensive course
09.30 a.m. - 13.00 a.m. standard course
