Is it illegal for Americans to travel to Cuba?


Travel Info
Does the United States government ban Americans from traveling to Cuba? If so why?

Travel Tips
No. The USA has an economic embargo on Cuba. US Citizens can travel there, they just aren't allowed to spend money there.

Wow, there are loads of uninformed answers here. There are still a few other "commie" states like China and Vietnam - and there is also nothing wrong with them. Also "travel" in itself to Cuba is not banned. Reporters, aid groups, NGO's, etc can travel to Cuba if they have a sponsor who provides them with food and a place to stay (thus eliminating the need to spend money).

Others
Yes. Because of the cuban missile crisis.
yeah. we have an embargo against them because they are commy.
Yes, we have an embargo against Cuba. It is illegal to enter Cuba unless you have specific permission from the government. Many people still visit Cuba, however, by traveling through Canada or the Bahamas. I don't recommend it. If you would get in legal trouble while there, I'm not sure the government would be quick to help out. Don't think I would risk a lengthy stay in a Cuban jail!
back in the "cuban missile crises " in 1962,us citizens travelling to cuba was banned.u cannot get a flight from us to cuba,unless u are in the government and go there for diplomatic reasons,or u are a reporter.u can travel from mexico to cuba with no problem-untill u try to return to the us.if a customs officer sees ur passport stamp-and it will be seen whenever u try to travel outside the us-when they see u have been to cuba,u will be in trouble.u can be arrested.
There has been an embargo against Cuba since 1962. US citizens are prohibited from traveling to Cuba, except under certain circumstances. The US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets and Control will send you a bill for $10,000 if you chose to ignore the rules. It is also illegal for any US business to do business with Cuba. Any ship that has been to a Cuban port can not enter a US port.
