Shopping Centre shopping in Havana

  1. A

    Palacio de la Artesanía

    A former 18th-century colonial palace turned into a shopping mall – the Americans could learn from this! Gathered around a shaded central patio is one-stop shopping for souvenirs, cigars, crafts, musical instruments, CDs, clothing and jewelry at fixed prices. Join the gaggles of tour-bus escapees and fill your bag.

    Plaza Carlos Iii

    After Plaza de las Américas in Varadero, this is probably Cuba’s flashiest shopping mall – and there’s barely a foreigner in sight. Dresses, radios and bicycles – they’re all on sale here. Step in to see the double economy working at a feverish pitch.

  3. C

    Galerías de Paseo

    This place is a surprisingly upscale shopping center with Adidas and Chanel labels and even a car dealership. It sells designer clothes and other consumer items to tourists and affluent Cubans.

    La Manzana de Gómez

    This faded but elegant European-style covered shopping arcade built in 1910 is full of shabby, half-empty stores.
