Costs only 3CUC to get in each without a guide. Plus an extra 2CUC to take photos. Amazing and huge statue in main room. HUGE! You can freely walk around the building. Great views of Havana from the windows of many rooms. Artists selling their art too. Very nice as well as the normal tourist items too. more

It is a very beautful building. You can visit it inside and the ticket price is 3 CUC (except tip). Also you can buy things from there but is is very expensive. I bought a little statue from Varadero for 20 CUC and there, the same one, was 100 CUC. more
