    Centro Comercial Hicacos

    Parque de las 8000 Taquillas has undergone extensive remodeling with a new mall tucked under a reborn (and plusher) Coppelia. Now called the Centro Comercial Hicacos there are a variety of shops here including souvenirs, cigars and photo developing, and an Infotur office.

    Galería de Arte Varadero

    Antique jewelry, museum-quality silver and glass, paintings and other heirlooms from Varadero's bygone bourgeois days are sold here. As most items are of patrimonial importance, everything is already conveniently tagged with export permission.

    Plaza América

    For a hint of American-style consumerism and the shape of things to come, head here: Varadero's and Cuba's largest shopping complex. There's fancy boutiques, music shops, a cigar store, bars, restaurants, a bank, a post office, a minimarket – oh, and the Varadero Convention Center.
