Cuba is a completely unique Caribbean island that is world-famous for its cigars. With its classic 50s Cadillacs and the crumbling charm of the Spanish colonial era, Cuba has an irresistible appeal, a place where time has stood still. Cuba is still suffering from the effects of the long-standing economic embargo that began in 1962. This has contributed to the formation of a fascinating cultural landscape. From the architecture to the white sand beaches and abandoned coffee plantations, a tour of Cuba will bring visitors a rich experience of time.

Cuban culture is a strong blend of Spanish, African, French and Asian influences, with Cubans' love of baseball coming from the Americas. The country's crumbling colonial facades, vintage cars, and simple cuisine are largely a reflection of the hard economic times that have hit Cuba since the Cuban Revolution. Music is also a defining element of Cuban culture. With its Afro-European roots, Cuban music has continued to influence salsa, jazz, tango, and Spanish nuevo flamenco.

Cuba has a subtropical climate, meaning that the days are typically hot and humid with plenty of sunshine. Cool trade winds and warm ocean currents help moderate the climate and temperatures. Although temperatures remain relatively stable throughout the year, Cuba does have distinct wet and dry seasons. The wet season runs from May to October, and the dry season runs from November to early May. The climate also varies by region, with the mountains being slightly cooler and the south and east being warmer and drier.

December to April is the best time to visit Cuba, as it is sunny and dry. However, don't let the rain keep you from visiting Cuba during the rainy season. Cuba's wettest months (June to October) are actually some of the most festive. They coincide with Cuba's summer and carnival season. This is also when various carnivals take place across the country.

A few tips for traveling to Cuba
You’ll find that Cubans of all classes tend to dress smartly, especially when going out at night, and men rarely wear shorts—even in the intense Caribbean heat. As a general rule of thumb for visitors, try to dress smartly but modestly in the evenings.
The standard voltage in Cuba is 110V. However, some modern hotels use dual voltage, with all outlets being 220V. Electrical outlets in Cuba are type A (2-pin), B (3-pin), C (2-pin rounded European style) and L (3-pin rounded), meaning that some will accept American appliances, while others will require an adapter.
