CUBA THROUGH THE YEAR

Because of its tropical climate, Cuba does not really have a high or low season, although officially, peak season is from December to the end of March and in July and August, when hotel rates are higher and flights are packed. Except for the peak of summer, when temper atures can be searingly hot, and September and October, when hurricanes are likeliest, any month is suitable for a visit. It is warm at the beach even in winter, because the frentes fríos (cold fronts), generally last only a couple of days and even then the temperature hardly ever drops below 10°C (50°F). The cooler, drier months from November to March are the best for sightseeing. Thanks to the climate, and the Cubans' love of music and cultural events, there are open-air concerts, festivals, and religious and folk festivities all year round. However, the most interesting and eventful months are July, during Carnival, and December, when the festivities in Remedios and Havana's two famous cinema and ballet festivals take place

Forget Seasons, Cuba's Always a Party!

Let's be honest, who needs seasons when you can have sunshine year-round? Cuba, with its tropical charm, throws a giant "always open" sign to travelers. While the official peak season (December-March & July-August) means higher prices and packed flights, don't let that deter you.

Sure, summers can get scorching hot (think "melting ice cream" hot), and hurricane season (September-October) can bring some drama. But hey, who needs a predictable vacation anyway?

Even during the "off-season," the beaches remain warm and inviting. Those pesky "frentes fríos" (cold fronts) might bring a slight chill, but let's be real, temperatures rarely dip below a cozy 50°F.

The best time for sightseeing? November to March offers cooler, drier weather, perfect for exploring. But honestly, Cuba's vibrant spirit shines year-round. From open-air concerts and lively festivals to deeply rooted religious and folk celebrations, there's always something happening.

But if you're looking for the ultimate Cuban party:

 * July: Carnival time! Expect a kaleidoscope of colors, music, and dancing in the streets.

 * December: The holiday season brings a festive atmosphere, with celebrations in Remedios and exciting film and ballet festivals in Havana.

So, when's the best time to visit Cuba? Whenever your heart desires!

LOCAL GUIDE IN HAVANA

LOCAL GUIDE IN HAVANA

I have been a guide (independent) for quite some time now. I am a teacher.
When I am doing my Walking City tours my main goal is to give a clear image of Cuba to as many persons as possible. Much what is known about Cuba is rooted in the  politics  but  it is important to give a deeper knowledge about Cuba: its people, beauty and culture.

Walking Tour in Old Havana,  other parts of the city  that the official or usual tours never shows, not to mention those stories we keep in our heart and soul and never told in guide-books

Private City Tours in Havana. 
A historian, guide, and friend all rolled into one. The passion for my country and my city in particular is what identify 
me. I will teach you and show you about those little streets, the details, the colors and great History of Havana. My 
tours are walking tours, Discovering fantastic streets, churches, museums, fabulous and old buildings, but also 
extraordinary bars and the rebirth of the Havana's restaurants. What else? Well, let's walk out of the tourist's path never do.

My city tour is mostly a walking tour in the old part of the city( although not exclusively) . It is mostly historical, and about arts (architecture and museum) . It can be planned in 2 days if needed. I actively work with several generations of Cubans and I know the reality and beauty of my country in depth . You are going to start the tour as a tourist and will finish as a traveler who have seen and listened what common tourists will never do.
We will make the first part from a square to square as the city grew, Havana was a typical spanish city and it share a 
common heritage, then the magic start, the streets communicating the sqaures, So, we start at the squares : Plaza de Armas, 
Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza vieja, Plaza de San Francisco, Parque Central, Plaza del Cristo. Important streets: Prado, 
Mercaderes, Obispo, O'Reilly, Malecon

CUBA BEFORE INTERNET

Old Havana : Floridita & Bodeguita

Old Havana : Floridita & Bodeguita

"My Daiquirí at the Floridita and my Mojito at the Bodeguita" used to say Hemingway. He drank lots of them. During the first seven years in Cuba, he lived in one of the rooms of the Ambos Mundos hotel and was at an equal walking distance of these two bars. A traditional visit of Old Havana, considered as Cultural World Heritage, does not include necessarily a bar tour.
You can have a general idea within an hour, walking between its main four squares: the Cathedral Square, the Arms Square, Saint Francis of Assisi Square and Old Square. But even if you stay ten years, you may be able not to visit all of it.
