7 reasons why you should go to Cuba - HAVanna4U

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, but it’s not just its size that impresses. It’s a magical place, where time flows differently and every day brings something new. Postcard-perfect beaches, colonial towns, exotic nature and people you won’t forget. This is a place that dazzles with its beauty and culture. Here are 7 undeniable reasons why a trip to Cuba should be on your dream list!

1. Perfect climate and beautiful beaches – the classic Caribbean at its best.

In Cuba, the sun shines almost all year round, and temperatures rarely drop below 25°C. Imagine walking along the white sands of Varadero, swimming in the turquoise waters of Cayo Coco, or relaxing in the shade of palm trees with a cocktail in your hand in Guardalavaca. Cuba is the definition of a Caribbean paradise – perfect for escaping from the daily grind, to the sun and beaches.

2. Fascinating nature and national parks.

If you love nature, you will fall in love with Cuba. Its 14 national parks are a treasure trove of natural beauty – from the swampy Ciénaga de Zapata National Park, to the pristine Jardines de la Reina islets, to the green primeval forests of the Alejandro de Humboldt National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site). They are home to species that you will not find anywhere else in the world. A paradise for lovers of nature, trekking and… silence.

3. History and colonial monuments with soul.

Havana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos – cities like living paintings. Colonial architecture, cobbled streets, cathedrals, old fortresses. Walk through the Old Town of Havana (UNESCO) and travel back in time admiring the colonial architecture. Every corner tells its own story, and the local artistic atmosphere is completely captivating.

4. American car classics on Cuban streets.

Cuba is a real open-air museum on wheels! Vintage Chevrolets from the 50s, Buicks, Cadillacs and Fords – this is not a vintage car rally, it is everyday life. Cuban drivers are proud of their cars, creating a living automotive museum on the streets. Don’t miss the opportunity to get into such a classic and feel like a movie star. Just you, a Cuban driver and good music from the radio. Sign up now for our optional panoramic Havana tour!

5. Music and dance – a cure for everything.

There is no other place where music is as present as in Cuba. You hear it literally everywhere – from each window, from each pub and from each nook. Salsa, rumba and son create a unique atmosphere on the island – it is not just dance, it is a way of life. Even if you do not dance – here you will start. Because the rhythms of Cuba, which flow straight from the hearts of the inhabitants, move the body and soul.

6. People – friendly, open and proud of their culture.

What do you remember most after returning from Cuba? The people. Polite, hospitable, smiling. Always ready to help, chat, tell you about life on the island. Their authenticity and cordiality will make you feel at home here – even thousands of kilometers from your own.

7. Rum, cigars and coffee – unique flavors that linger for a long time.

It is impossible to leave Cuba without trying local rum (necessarily in a mojito!), a real Cuban cigar, or a cup of intense, aromatic coffee. These flavors are an inseparable part of the local culture. When you sit in the shade of a colonial tenement house with a cigar and coffee, you will understand what a sabor cubano means.
