Funky Little Neighborhood
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.

Dr Seuz Meet Dali - it just makes you smile
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

Fusterland, Fuster’s small city
Fusterland is the result of the genius of this artist, ventured to show his work from the purest essence. His creations have crossed the borders of his home -studio- workshop, monopolizing around with sculptures and murals exhibiting different shades and hues of Cuban culture.

Fusterlandia: Explosion of colour and mind
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

Do get yourself to this amazing neighborhood!
A friend and I took a taxi (20 CUC per hour) for a morning and this was our first stop. Minimum allow 1/2 hour to enjoy the mosaics and murals - a full hour is better. Spend time at Mr. Fuster's home (where the best pieces are) and be sure to go to the second level where his tiles and other artworks are for sale. There are other artisan shops and art galleries in the area also. Even the public toilet is interesting - both clean and beautifully decorated.

This Place is Really Great
We had a really enjoyable couple of hours here. Lots of great installations to look at and some fabulous local artists. Well worth the 20 CUC taxi ride.

The Height of Cuban Kitsch
Cuban Gaudi? You've got to be kidding. I'm embarrassed for Cubans that this unartistic "exposition" is considered atourist attraction

What an imagination
Put Fusterlandia on your "must visit". An incredible artist and most definitely a unique place. The artwork, the colours and sculptures just work

Such joyous creativity! Loved it. Look for details as well as taking in the whole. The local venders are fun and cheerfu
What a marvellous tribute to joyous creativity! Make sure you take in the details as well as the whole picture. The venders are fun, not overly pushy, and there is some surprising art to be found amongst the junky tourist stuff. We came in a rented tour in a 58 Impala. Worth the trip

Fun place
Fun place you only need 20 minutes here not very big, if you hire a convertible for a one hour tour most will include this place in your one hour tour, if not it’s a 25 minutes outside of Havana would not trust public transportation in Cuba or Havana.

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!
