Cronache di Havana
Havana, Cuba's capital, was founded in 1519 by the Spanish, who established a fortified settlement on the island's western coast. Over the centuries, the city evolved into a colonial metropolis, with the Spanish Baroque and Art Deco styles dominating its architectural landscape. In the early 20th century, Havana became a centre for jazz and nightlife, earning its nickname 'The City of Music'. Today, the city's rich cultural heritage is evident in its vibrant streets, historic landmarks, and world-class museums.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Havana →I migliori mesi
The best months to visit Havana are January and February, when the weather is mild and sunny, with average highs of 24°C (75°F), and the crowds are manageable. The summer months can be hot and humid, while the winter months can be cooler, so these shoulder months offer ideal conditions for exploring the city.
Peak / Festival Surge
June is the peak month, with the Havana Jazz Festival drawing thousands of visitors. Expect higher prices, especially in hotels like Hostal Miramar, and be prepared for larger crowds. The festival's electric atmosphere makes it well worth the extra cost, with world-class performances and impromptu jam sessions adding to the excitement.
Stagione di spalla
For a more budget-friendly experience, consider visiting in May or November, when the weather is still pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. Prices are lower, and you can enjoy the city's attractions without the peak-season prices.
Meteo e imballaggio
Havana's climate is subtropical, with a distinct dry season from November to April and a wet season from May to October. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for the summer months, and don't forget to bring sunscreen and a hat to protect against the strong tropical sun.

Principali attrazioni a Havana
💡 Go early (8-9am) before tour groups arrive. The adjacent Museo de Arte Colonial costs a couple of CUP but gives rooftop views of the plaza for free once you're inside.
💡 Start at the Hotel Nacional end, walk east towards Havana Vieja during late afternoon when the breeze picks up. Watch for crumbling seawall sections after storms.
💡 Take a bus or taxi from central Havana (about 15 mins). No security or fences around it; it's a regular neighbourhood park. Best visited late afternoon when it's cooler and the sun makes the bronze glow. The nearest cafe sells decent iced coffee.
💡 Skip the overpriced audio guide. Bring small CUP notes for the locked donation boxes in some rooms. The Granma Memorial outside (the yacht used in the 1956 landing) is free to view through the fence; you can see it from outside the museum grounds.
💡 Arrive by 8pm on Thursday or Friday to avoid huge queues. Pay in CUP at the door if you have it; the card machine sometimes fails. Check their Facebook page for schedule changes.
