Words can not explain how much use I got out of this map! I have made 3 trips to Cuba and have had this map in my pocket every day and it has still held up and is in great condition. The map is made of a sturdy slick cardboard and folds down to about the size of a business letter. On one side is a map of the whole island of Cuba detailed with dozens of major cities, railways, major highways, landmarks, sites and scuba diving areas. This is very handy if you plan on travelling on the bus or train throughout Cuba. The other side has maps of Havana, Varadero and Playas Del Este. These maps are very detailed with every street, many hotels, museums and many other sites of interest. The map key lists hundreds of all of these places with map coordinates to locate it's vacinity.

The beauty of this map is that it is compact, durable and very easy to take out, unfold and read. I have compared it to other maps and this map shows a little bit more of the outer regions of Havana than others. It is definately worth the [money]!

This is a good, sturdy map but, on Havana side, covers only the old city to Vedado. You will want another map if you want to visit anything outside of this area, and it is VERY likely that you will. In Havana there are excellent maps available at the airports, in "tourist" stores near major hotels, and in bookstores.
