As so many of the reviews have said the art is beautiful, the story is uplifting and the whole occasion is so original and memorable.
On a practical note it is quite far out, so involves quite a long taxi ride. The visit doesn't take very long, maybe 45 mins, and there wasn't really anywhere to get a drink and some shade, or anything, before getting a taxi back.
It's definitely worth the effort though.

José Rodríguez Fuster was impressed by the famous artist around the world (Gaudi, Dali ...) and started to create his "own" work. The neighbors liked it so much that they asked for similar projects. Fusterlandia is still growing. We saw new constructions with Fuster's impressions.

This place is a bit out o the city - we got there in an 1957 convertible - great car to drive around in.
The mosaic work is incredible - hard to believe that one man did all of this. Definitely worth the time to get there and visit

The story, the artist, the place...all mind-blowing. From the moment we drove past the first mural we were IN! The details the colours, the intention, the art, the joy...all added to the heart-filling impact. We left touched and inspired.

This is so worth a look and a purchase - the artists mission was to make people happy in a very trying time in Cuba - so given what we are all going through with COVID, this even more relevant today. It is whimsical, joyful and quite amazing.
Walking around there is a discovery at every corner and it is a great way to spend some time in Havana. Make sure you look at the gallery there are some great buys to be had.
Take moment to reflect on how we can all react positively to the challenges we face - doing the kind things is wonderful

This is such a nice visit. If you appreciate Gaudi and this type of art, you will enjoy this place. It is around 20 km from Havana, but you can reach it by city buses or taxi (15€). Besides the artist's house, you have a whole neighbourhood to visit.

For anyone who loves whimsy colour and art on a grand scale this is not to be missed! From the moment you arrive on the street, there is an explosion of colours, mosaics and creations that twist, enchant, and just blow your mind. Jose Fuster has left his touch throughout the neighborhood, with mosaic murals and mosaic decor. Well worth the time to visit the park, walk all 3 levels and explore the local artists galleries

Visiting Fusterlandia was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Havana. The neighborhood is colorful and fun, very relaxed. It is literally covered in Mosaics and we could have strolled around forever just looking at them. Drinks inside coconuts for sale from street vendors, beautiful art for sale on peoples doorsteps, and plentiful photo ops all make this a charming afternoon well spent in Havana.

This is the home of the artist which is completely decked out in beautiful tile mosaic and sculptures. There are 3 levels if I remember correctly and it is amazing how intricate everything is.
Tips:
*the bathrooms don’t have toilet seats or toilet paper and cost $1... bring your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer
*don’t visit the bar there, we got sick from the mojitos (dirty ice I think), although the bartender was great
*there is a separate gallery next door with some of the best art to purchase we saw throughout our time in Havana, we were even able to meet one of the artists. Bring cash!
*There is not a lot else to do in this neighborhood, so you may want to see if your taxi will wait for you to go to your next destination.

Jose Fuster transformed a local neighborhood in to an intriguing work of art. The picture you see here is of his backyard. He invites everyone into his house to see his unbelievable mosaics. His neighbors loved what he did so much they asked him to do their walls. He doesn't show any signs of stopping!

Hi, I am receiving conflicting information in my research.
But, could someone tell me if Fusterlandia is open on Tuesday (the artist's house). I understand I can tour the neighborhood, but I would really like to see the house and buy some artwork. During my research, I have read that it is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Sapete se c’è un bus che parte dall’Avana vecchia per Fusterlandia?
Il tragitto in taxi quanto può costare in 2?
Grazie!

Non ci sono bus che ti portano li, o meglio non ci sono le classiche fermate per i punti di interesse considerando anche che molti sono distanti dal centro. I taxi costano pochissimo , noi ad esempio abbiamo conosciuto una persona che ci portava in giro per tutta la città a solo 20 euro al giorno, e molti luoghi di interesse ci venivano consigliato da lui.

Do you have more detailed information going to Fusterlandia by bus, Bus number and route from Old Town?. If the bus runs along the Malecon should have stops at Paseo Marti. The bus that serves Avenida 5ra Where you would pick it up? We are staying near Paseo Marti and Neptuno.
Thanks for any info, definitely it ill be appreciated.

Hi, it's not easy to go by public transport. It was my intention to do so. But it is quite a way out any it's not known by everyone, even staff in my hotel in central Havana were not aware of it.
We took a taxi and normally the driver will wait to take you back, I think 1 hour is enough time to spend there as there isn't anything else to do in that area.
We didn't ask the driver to wait as we thought there would be plenty of taxis to take us back, this was not the case. One of the local people took us back and we had to pay more than the outward cost. It is worth going to see, we enjoyed it.

El sistema público no es bueno siempre está lleno y la gente espera demasiado, taxi o cómo lo hicimos con un descapotable que nos paseo por toda la Habana, te recomiendo lo visites si has conocido todo lo importante es histórico de la Havana.

I would just take a taxi. We also went as part of a private tour with VC Tours based in Havana. I recommend them. It was great and reasonably priced!

Does anyone know if there is an elevator in Fusterlandia? I want to bring my mother there when we visit cuba in May but when I visited Fusterland before, I remember that there wasn’t much to see without going upstairs.

As others have replied, no elevator. I did not climb the stairs due to knee problems, but I enjoyed the ceramics on the ground floor and the surrounding buildings.

I think they are open daily. We also went with Cubaoutings and loved them. We hired a hot pink convertible with a driver and our guide was very informative, not only of Fusterlandia, but everything else along the way. Enjoy the interesting architecture in the entire nrighborhood!
