The best time to visit Havana is during the dry season, from December to April. The weather is warm and sunny, with little rainfall. However, it is important to note that this is also the peak tourist season, so prices will be higher and crowds will be larger.

If you are looking for a more affordable and less crowded time to visit Havana, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October). The weather is still pleasant during these months, but there is a slightly higher chance of rain.
