Department Store shopping in Havana

1. A Map

   Variadades Galiano

   • Havana, Cuba
   • Shopping › Department store

   The main shopping streets for Cubans are San Rafael and Av de Italia (Galiano). At the point where the thoroughfares meet stands Variadades Galiano, the Bloomingdales of Cuban department stores (and a former Woolworths), which sells everything from mesh tank tops to old records. With its strangely evocative interior that mixes aspiring 1950s New York with dingy 1970s Moscow, this place offers an authentic glimpse into how Cubans go shopping.
