In this travel lecture (from 2016), Rick Steves describes his experience traveling through Cuba as the US began easing decades of travel restrictions for American tourists. Expand your travel horizons and learn about the time-passed elegance of Havana, Cuba's classic American cars, fine $5 rum, the best Cuban cigars, and the idealistic charms of this remarkable island and its people. (Produced by Seattle's KCTS 9.) UPDATE: The entry requirements for Americans visiting Cuba have changed since this was filmed in 2016. Check the latest details before planning your trip.
