Havana in June

June in Havana offers a vibrant, albeit warm, immersion into Cuban culture with fewer crowds than peak winter months. The city is genuinely worth it for its living history: classic American cars cruising down Malecón, live music spilling from every corner of Habana Vieja, and the palpable energy of a society in transition.
