Cuba is the ideal destination for a Christmas and New Year unlike any other that you will never forget, to discover the customs of a unique country.

In Cuba, there is not just one way to enjoy Christmas; the religious follow traditions with mass at the Cathedral, for Santeros it is an opportunity for renewal but for most of the population it is an occasion to celebrate with family and friends.

Christmas in Cuba is always a special experience. By staying in casas particulares, the Cuban version of a bed and breakfast, you will have the opportunity to get to know a Cuban family with whom to share the celebrations.

These homes embody the essence of Cuban culture and the hospitality of their owners who, at Christmas, often gather as a family to welcome the new year together.

The dinner on December 31 is the most special, it is the moment when Cubans say goodbye to the year that is ending and welcome the new one.

The streets are full of celebrations and fireworks fill the sky of Havana and the paladares (small private restaurants) offer their special menus on this date.

The sunset from the terrace of the La Guarida restaurant or the special gala menu in the various hotels are a true pleasure, caressed by the pleasant Caribbean temperatures at this time.

The Buena Vista Social Club organizes an unforgettable night every year in the purest Cuban style. This venue, which also gave its name to a famous musical group of the nineties, is the authentic reflection of traditional Cuban music and dance and the ideal place to welcome the new year and enjoy the best of Havana, Trinidad or one of the beautiful beaches.

In Plaza de la Catedral there is one of the most spectacular New Year celebrations in Havana. The square is decorated for the occasion and closed to the public to offer a private event with a colonial atmosphere.

An exclusive dinner and music concerts are held to make this night the most special of the year.

In Cuba, there is a unique occasion in the world on December 31 and January 1. The celebration of the new year also marks the anniversary of the triumph of the revolution.

It was precisely on January 1, 1959 when the revolutionaries arrived in Havana and took power. Without a doubt a day that mixes emotions, memories, feelings, hints of history and remnants of nostalgia.

A day that does not leave those who can experience it indifferent. HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM CUBA!
