Cuba, Cuba and Cuba. You probably know someone who has been to Cuba, right? Are you tired of seeing Instagram photos, Facebook videos, and features about the hottest island? In recent years, traveling to Cuba has become the ultimate “must.”

Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Barack Obama, Pope Francis, the Rolling Stones and more. An endless list of celebrities has strolled along Havana’s Malecón in recent months. If you want to travel to Cuba and discover a different world, take note of these essentials that should definitely be included in your 2019 plans.
Here are some reasons to come to Cuba in 2019 :
Put away your watch
Once you set foot in Cuba, time seems to have stopped. Don’t worry about schedules: everything flows (with a mojito in hand).
Colors, colors and more colors
Cuba’s vibrant light brings to life and illuminates all the houses painted in a thousand colors.
Iconography :if you are a fan of design, architecture and vintage style then Cuba is for you. The most famous words of Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos appear along streets, murals and buildings. Architectural styles blend together, creating a unique landscape from many eras.
The beaches of Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Largo are some of Cuba’s most iconic places where beaches are still wide, clean and white.
Stroll through the streets, Bring a pair of comfortable shoes
This advice is especially important if you plan to visit Havana and the colonial cities. The long avenues invite you to walk for hours as you wander among potholes, puddles, almendrones (vintage taxis) and friendly street vendors.
MUSIC (yes, in capital letters)
If you want to dance, sing and socialize with the locals, check out Plaza Mayor in Trinidad, on the southern side of the island, and spend an evening in Havana at a nightclub or at the Buenavista Social Club.
Mojito For Cubans, the best place to try a mojito made with real Cuban rum is at one of the many private restaurants called “paladar.”
Wild nature :To discover the most exotic side of Cuba, don’t forget to visit Viñales. This valley in the northwestern part of the country is one of the greenest regions on the island. Or when you are in Trinidad, hop on military trucks up to Guanayara Park.
Cuba is better with Cubans :It may seem obvious, but mingling with the locals is the best way to truly get to know the country.
So what are you waiting for? Cuba is waiting for you in 2019 !
