As a tropical island, Cuba stays hot all year, that is why you should not miss your swimsuit and sandals, and it is advisable to bring lightweight natural fabrics such as linen and cotton. Although casual clothes (shorts, t-shirts, jeans and comfortable open shoes) are the ideal attire to go for a walk in the city, when attending theaters, deluxe restaurants, concert halls, etc, visitors are required to use more formal clothes. In our short winter (December to March), it’s enough to bring a light sweater, especially to travel on an air-conditioned bus, and during the rainy season (May to October) it is advisable to have a light raincoat or water-proof jacket with you. It is also important to protect yourself from the sun, so a sun block, dark glasses and a hat would be the ideal complements.
