Move
Spanish is mainly spoken in Cuba. Near tourist centers, you can also speak English.
Buy
Cigars are perhaps the most famous gifts from Cuba. Cuban rum is also a good gift for the home.
Price level
The price level is slightly cheaper compared to Finland, but quite expensive compared to other "tourist destinations".
Many prices are for tourists CUC (pesos convertible), but also national pesos (CUP, pesos cubano, Moneda Nacional) can be paid and exchanged. Do not pay the CUP price in CUC nests as the exchange rate CUC> CUP is 1:24 and in the other direction 1:25. Offer to pay first with CUP nests if the price is in doubt.
