While Cuba remains a beautiful holiday destination in North America throughout the year, visiting during the recommended season allows tourists to have the best tourism experience that the land has to offer. In general, the period between November and April is considered the best time to visit Cuba. During this time, the weather remains clear and warm without the harsh summer humidity and risks of storms. The temperature stays acceptable throughout, allowing tourists to engage in all kinds of outdoor tourist activities. However, if you are chasing the Cuban tourism experience under stormy skies, July-August would be a good time to visit. So, choose a time that fits your schedule and allows you to get the best Cuban tourism experience. Also, don’t forget to grab good Cuba travel insurance for the journey.
