If you like monuments, the square has many. Probably best with a knowable guide and willingness to climb.

On it's own, the statue is a statue but hearing history about it from our wonderful guide Arnoldo made this a place to see! Jose Marti is such an important figure in Cuban history so I think you should spare a few minutes and go visit!

again, not so exciting. i guess if your into history a statue might excite you but, but it was among the least exciting things to see or do in havana because there were so many awesome other things to see and do.

Not very impressive but the sqaure itself is huge and may be really good for public events. Jose Marti is the biggest national hero and should have had a better statue

I'd see in in so many books, television programmes and pictures, but I was amazed at the fact that it is in the middle of a vacant tarmac void! The monument is amazing in itself, and the view is breathtaking from the top. Of course, you have the photo opportunity of the Guevara iron image as well!

This one we actually enjoyed. We got ticket both for the Monument and for the Mirador (the view from the top of the building). Firstly we walked around the museum which is nicely decorated and there are many pictures of Martí and his memorabilia inside. In one of the four exhibition rooms there was a display of young Cuban artists.... More

Take a coco taxi or one of the old cars and head over to the Revolution square. Go inside the building and check out some of the photos and history of the revolution. Then get a ticket to take the elevator to the top. It costs about $5 I think. Great views of the old and new cities, although it... More

An excellent snack bar, with a good offer of food selection. Try the pork chops, along with the custard for dessert. Prices are extremely reasonable. We loved this place with a charming atmosphere. You’ll love this place.
