havana gay bars

El Mujunje was an institution for tolerance and acceptance, not just for homosexuality, but just to create a more open-minded community in general. From chic private lounges to lively open-air parties, Havana — along with destinations like Santa Clara and Cienfuegos — invites you to experience Cuba’s social side with sophistication and style.

Just picking a destination you’d like to visit and traveling there is the norm for most heterosexuals.

However, this is not a privilege that those in the LGBTQ community always have.

Discrimination is something faced daily, and it is no different when it comes to picking a holiday destination.

You should be able to enjoy your trip overtly without feeling a need to be closed off about your relationship.

Don’t worry if you get peckish either, as this club offers some of the absolute tastiest dishes in El Vedado. It’s not just Mondays that you’ll want to visit this mansion, as almost every night there is some theme that you’ll love.

Often you’ll find that it’s mainly a mix of club classics, salsa, and reggaeton songs so you’re sure to have something you can dance along to all night long.

While it may be slightly smaller than other beaches across the coast, it is no less stunning or serene.

This club is actually often referred to as a gay landmark within Cuba, more specifically, in Havana. Calle 23 is the street most laden with gay life, and at night it becomes a bustling hotspot for the gay community.

There is steadily increasing visibility for those who are transgender or ‘travestis’ as the Cubans will say.

Of course, as is, unfortunately, the case with every country, I cannot guarantee that you will not come into contact with some ignorance or prejudice throughout your trip.

But if the bus doesn’t seem like your style for an extra 10 CUC you could always opt to travel via taxi.

And while you may be accepted with fairly welcome arms in Havana if you travel to different provinces you may find they are not as liberal.

This is the cultural center and nightclub that has been established since the late 1980s.

Some Honest Advice For Travelling To Cuba

Cuba was actually voted Safest Travel Destination for 2018 and is a predominantly non-violent and safe place to travel.

I don’t know about you but that sounds like a deal I just wouldn’t be able to turn down. Proyecto Divino is by far the most popular act that you’ll see while you’re there.

If you are hoping to find a destination with plentiful gay nightlife then Cuba is sure not to disappoint.

This is where you can find the ultimate tolerance and safety throughout the whole of Cuba.
