Each destination is different. Some destinations can be quite pleasant in the off season (or their winter months) as pricing can also be quite reasonable!

The best time to visit Europe for good weather can vary quite a bit depending on the country. Much of continental Europe, you can generally expect pleasant weather from mid-April through mid-October, with the highest temperatures in July and August, ranging from the low 80s to the low 90’s, depending on your exact location. Summer is hot in the Mediterranean, so if you want to avoid the heat but still enjoy relatively mild weather, go in April/May or mid-September through late-October.

Cuba, on the other hand, the best time to visit is from November to May when you can expect dry, sunny days and plenty of blue skies. The wet season begins in June and, continues into October.
