Cuba cultural holidays

Our travel experts know all there is to know about Cuba cultural holidays, so let us create the perfect tailor-made trip for you. To give you a glimpse of what could be in store, here are a few of our favourite Cuban cultural experiences.

Learn to salsa dance

Salsa is Cuba's pop music, danced to by locals in the streets and the clubs alike. While us Brits may not always have their seemingly natural rhythm and grace, we can help get you started by arranging a few salsa lessons, so you’ll be tearing up the dance floor in no time.

Ride in a classic car

In the 1950s, Cuba was a hotspot for American celebrities, so it imported cars from the USA. But when Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, the USA banned exports to Cuba. That’s why all the classic cars from that era – Chevrolets, Buicks, Chryslers, Oldsmobiles and Soviet-era Volgas to name a few – are still used today. Wherever your Cuba cultural holiday takes you, we can arrange a stylish hire car so can travel like a classic movie star.

Discover the art of cigar rolling

Cuba opened its first cigar factories in the early 1800s. Today, cigars are still one of Cuba's leading exports, shipped around the world in their millions. Immerse yourself in Cuban culture and learn the art of cigar rolling.
