Frequently Asked Questions — Cities in Cuba
What time zone is Cuba in?
Cuba observes Cuba Standard Time (CST, UTC−5) during winter and Cuba Daylight Time (CDT, UTC−4) during summer. The IANA time zone identifier is America/Havana. Cuba is the only Caribbean nation that observes Daylight Saving Time, making it unique in the region.
Does Cuba observe Daylight Saving Time?
Yes. Cuba observes Daylight Saving Time (DST). Clocks spring forward 1 hour in March and fall back in October. During DST, Cuba is on Cuba Daylight Time (CDT, UTC−4). During standard time, Cuba is on Cuba Standard Time (CST, UTC−5). Note that Cuba's DST transition dates do not always align exactly with the US schedule, which can create brief 1-hour differences.
What is the time difference between Cuba and the United States?
Cuba (America/Havana) is normally in the same time zone as the US Eastern Time zone (America/New_York) — both are UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 in summer. However, Cuba and the US do not always change clocks on the same date, so there can be brief periods of 1-hour difference during the transition weeks in spring and fall.
Is Havana on the same time as Miami?
Yes, for most of the year Havana and Miami are on the same time. Both observe UTC−5 in winter (CST/EST) and UTC−4 in summer (CDT/EDT). The only exception is during the brief transition periods when Cuba and the US change their clocks on different dates, creating a temporary 1-hour gap.

Cuba is divided into 15 provinces and 1 special municipality (Isla de la Juventud). The provinces are: Pinar del Río, Artemisa, La Habana, Mayabeque, Matanzas, Cienfuegos, Villa Clara, Sancti Spíritus, Ciego de Ávila, Camagüey, Las Tunas, Holguín, Granma, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo.
