Lolo Galeria-Taller

In our studio you are going to find firsthand fine art pieces and the renowned artist who made them. It is a place where clay, plaster, glass, metal and fiber glass become into works of art. We promise that you will always remember having visited us.

Reviewed By Ana_L_23 - Navan, Ireland

This is quite an interesting gallery to visit, with very unique works of art, performed by different artists. There are even partnerships between USA and Cuba. Worth to have a look, and you can see the artists working. Free entrance.

Lazaro Niebla Gallery

Reviewed By rodl16

During a group tour of the artist's studios of Havana, we were introduced to the art of Lazaro Niebla. Using antiques shutters from local buildings, Mr. Niebla carves the likeness of aged faces he sees on the streets. Each is dimensional, some are tinted, but all are wonderful.

Diego Velazquez Museum

Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom

The museum is in fact two houses joined together. At the front is the oldest house in Santiago de Cuba - some say in Cuba itself, constructed from 1516 to 1530 for the governor Diego Velazquez, with historic Mudejar-style interiors; it is then connected to a later house at the rear to create a substantial museum which displays Cuban furniture and decorative arts from the 16th century onwards, in rooms which have been sensitively restored. Definitely worth visiting both for the architecture and for the collections on display. There is also a furnace previously used to make gold ingots. from a time when the building was used as a 'House of Transactions'. The assistants are helpful in explaining things, though generally in Spanish.

Museu Nacional de Belas Artes de Cuba

Museum offers a glimpse of colonial Cuba.

Reviewed By EstherP1882 - Chicago, United States

I was very tired at this point in the itinerary so waited for my friends in the Museums coffee shop on the ground floor. The attendant made me an excellent capucchno. I also visited the gift shop which had a good selection of art books and art prints, as well as Videos/DVD's on Cuba and its history.

Reviewed By ParadiseMe2U - Bogota, Colombia

This is in the heart of central parc, The photos by night and day from various angles was awesome, don,t go all the way upstairs to buy tickets, like I did as you face the building go to the side you will find two little cabin together we you can purchase your tickets. The tour is in Espanol, oh and other languages two, they have portable information radios and as you walk around the tour, security will tell you what buttons to press, I thoroughly enjoyed the history of the Palacio De Los Capitanes Generales, so much to learn about this lovely country.

Gran Teatro de La Habana

Reviewed By magicas - Houston, United States

This is a spectacular old theatre, built in a grand style! The architecture alone is a must-see in Havana. Ballet performances are amazing. We saw a special performance for the 500th anniversary of Havana by Carlos Acosta's ballet company. It ranked with the best performances we have seen anywhere, including by internationally acclaimed ballet companies!

Mausoleo del Che Guevara

Reviewed By caitrionaonatrip

Set a little bit outside Santa Clara, the Ché monument is very striking. There is a garden a little behind it honouring fallen revolutionary comrades. The mausoleum underneath the statue is very peaceful, and the small museum about Ché has some really interesting photos of him, and his upbringing.
