Electrical System Overview
Cuba has a mixed electrical system with both 110V and 220V outlets, using Type A, B, C, and L plugs. This dual-voltage system can be confusing, so always check before plugging in. Newer hotels often have 220V, while older buildings use 110V. A universal adapter is highly recommended.
