What is the best time to visit Cuba?

You can visit Cuba in all months of the year.

The sun is always present except for brief tropical downpours that can be intense but short-lived in the months of May and June.

The location of Cuba, south of the Tropic of Cancer, guarantees a warm tropical climate.

The temperature ranges from 25º to 28º.

From May to October is the hottest period with temperatures around 30º.

What type of clothing do you recommend wearing?

Considering the summer climate, it is recommended to bring light clothing, swimsuits, and something light with long sleeves for the evening.

Is there a "Dress code" to follow in restaurants?

For dinners in hotels, men must wear long pants and a shirt or short-sleeved t-shirt; outside hotel facilities, clothing is always informal.

What type of sunscreen should I bring?

As usual, the protection factor depends on your skin type.

If you travel in high season, the temperature reaches 35° and a protection factor of at least 20 is recommended.

With the tropical climate of Cuba, it is recommended, especially for children, to avoid direct sun exposure from 1 PM to 4 PM.

Cuba is a Caribbean destination that can be visited throughout the entire year.

Depending on the reasons for the tourist trip, can better periods be suggested compared to others?

Certainly for sea lovers interested in sun and temperature, it is good to know that Cuba has 330 days of sunshine and an average sea water temperature of 25°, but with different characteristics during the two seasons of the year.

From May to October is the wet season; this period has the highest temperatures but also the greatest risks of rain and hurricanes.

Temperatures are above 28° and rains commonly occur after 5:00 PM with a frequency of one to three days a week, so it is always possible to swim and enjoy the beach in the morning and early afternoon.

From July to September, the temperature records the highest average of the year; the water temperature exceeds 28°.

From November to April is the dry season, the Cuban winter, with an average temperature of 25°.

February is the coldest month of the year with an average temperature of 22.9°.

The arrival of cold air masses from North America most frequently affects the central-western part of the island, causing slight drops in temperatures.

Toward the eastern part of the island, the situation tends to be very different; the beaches of Santa Lucia, Covarrubias, and the northern coast of Holguin are the warmest during winter.

Many experienced travelers prefer the period between November and April to take advantage of the various itinerary programs offered by the chosen destination.

The arrival of rains from May to October makes nature green again and is therefore the ideal period for nature lovers.

Without a doubt, for birdwatching enthusiasts, the period from November to April offers incredible richness due to the arrival of migratory birds from North America.

The economic aspect is also important in determining the best time to visit Cuba.

Those who prefer to save 25/30% on their trip while finding the same quality of tourist product and greater tranquility should choose the months of April, May, June, September, and October.

What is the most beautiful and best beach in Cuba?

In Cuba there are more than 300 beaches, all made of fine sand, which together represent an availability of 588 km for welcoming bathers.

The four archipelagos that make up the Republic of Cuba have more than 4,200 islands, with many beaches, most of which still lack tourist facilities.

The beaches most renowned for their beauty are: Playa del Este (Havana), Varadero, Cayo Largo, Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo, Cayo Santa Maria, Santa Lucia, Guardalavaca, Santiago de Cuba.

Do Italian cell phones work in Cuba?

Currently almost all tourist destinations in the country have cell phone coverage through the roaming service offered by the C-com company.

To call Italy from Cuba, you must dial the international exit code from the island, the country code for Italy, and then the desired cell phone or landline number (city area code without the first zero).

Example for cell phone: 119 39 xxxxxxxx.

Example for landline: 119 39 xx xxxxxxx.

Roaming service costs are always very high, so many people prefer to communicate via text messages.
