It lies just 90 miles south of Florida, with Mexico&#8217;s Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula to the west, Jamaica to the south, and the Bahamas to the northeast.<\/p>\n<h3>Capitale<\/h3>\n<p>La Havane (La Habana)<\/p>\n<h3>Population<\/h3>\n<p>Environ 11 millions de personnes. Cela fait de Cuba le pays le plus peupl\u00e9 des Cara\u00efbes.<\/p>\n<h2>Langue<\/h2>\n<h3>Langue officielle<\/h3>\n<p>The official language is Spanish. You will quickly notice the unique characteristics of Cuban Spanish, which has a distinct Caribbean cadence. Speakers often omit the &#8216;s&#8217; at the end of words and employ a rich collection of local idioms, making it a very expressive and musical dialect.<\/p>\n<h3>Ma\u00eetrise de l'anglais<\/h3>\n<p>English proficiency varies significantly across the island. It is generally limited outside of major tourist areas, hotels, and among official tour guides. We encourage you to learn a few basic Spanish phrases; a simple &#8216;hola&#8217; (hello) or &#8216;gracias&#8217; (thank you) is always warmly received. For a helpful primer, please refer to the <strong>&#8216;Useful Spanish Phrases&#8217;<\/strong> section of this toolkit.<\/p>\n<h2>Government &#038; Official Name<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Official Name:<\/strong> Republic of Cuba (Rep\u00fablica de Cuba)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Government Type:<\/strong> Socialist Republic<\/p>\n<h2>Informations essentielles pour le voyageur<\/h2>\n<h3>Fuseau horaire<\/h3>\n<p>Heure normale de Cuba (CST), qui est UTC-5.
