Overview
Not to be missed!
It would be a mistake to visit Havana and miss out on seeing the world famous Tropicana Cabaret show. This is the rare attraction that lives up to it's reputation. You'll be transferred comfortably in an air conditioned vehicle and soon will arrive to our location, a beautiful forest with huge trees. Royal Palms, Mamoncillos, Mango Trees, Cedar and others provide a backdrop that gives the theater its cool tropical feeling. Cabaret Tropicana was built in 1939 in the Havana neighborhood of Marianao. It is considered the oldest of cabarets and has had a bevy of celebrities such as Nat King Cole, Josephine Baker, Libertad Lamarque, Cheo Feliciano, Rita Montaner, Elena Burke and Bola de Nieve on the Tropicana’s illustrious stage. Performances are conducted under the stars of Havana's night sky. The whole experience is wonderful!
Surprisingly, in 1992, the American Academy of Restaurant Industry bestowed Tropicana with an honorable award as the “Best of the Five Stars Diamond” for being the best cabaret in the Americas, recognized for its quality and appreciated for its rich history of over more than half a century. This is a unique place in the world to enjoy the music and the Cuban and Caribbean folklore in all their color, musicality and rhythm. An art extravaganza to multiply the Cuban happiness of a true tropical night.
