Sightseeing

Built initially in 1589 in response to raids on Havana harbor, el Morro protected the mouth of the harbor with a chain being strung out across the water to the fort at La Punta. This colonial fort is a historical landmark great for views and photo shots of the city and the harbor​. "The canon shooting ceremony at 9:00 pm every day is quite fun,--a kind of changing of the guard ceremony, and the Morro is a cool place to purchase souvenirs. You'll be on your feet, so wear good walking shoes".

Shopping

"On Plaza de Armas, you'll find multiple stalls selling second-hand and antiquarian books, including many with revolutionary and political themes. (You can also find coins, stamps, and other Revolution memorabilia.) Bargain very hard. Anticuaria El Navío, Calle Obispo 119, between Oficios and Mercaderes (tel. 7/861-3187), is a dusty old store selling expensive, rare and unusual books."
