Havana
Stroll through Old Havana's cobblestone streets, where WiFi parks like Parque Central offer connectivity.
Get your travel eSIM for Cuba before you fly and enjoy instant mobile data the moment you land in Havana, without the shock of roaming bills.
Built for short trips and long stays alike — if you fall into any of these, you're sorted.
ETECSA is Cuba's sole carrier, offering decent coverage in urban areas like Havana and Santiago de Cuba. However, rural connectivity can be spotty, especially indoors. WiFi hotspots are predominantly in public parks and hotel lobbies.
A rough guide to pick the right plan — your real usage depends on how much you stream and share.
Maps, messaging, email and the occasional search. Enough to stay oriented and in touch.
Social feeds, browsing, music and some video. The sweet spot for most travelers.
Video calls, lots of streaming and tethering your laptop or sharing a hotspot.
