Taller de Ceramica Artistica

Taller de Ceramica Artistica

This artisan gallery treats shoppers to a show of craftsmen at work, a glimpse into the back-stage of the production process of some of many items on sale at the adjacent store. Ceramic pieces sold here are hand-made, and make for perfect gifts and souvenirs.

Varadero Street Market

Varadero Street Market

The street market in downtown Varadero is the best place to go for gifts and souvenirs to bring back home. Items on sale range from small knick-knacks, leather goods and traveller necessities to full-on unique pieces of art, ranging from sculpture to painting.

Casa del Ron

Casa del Ron

Also known as the "House of Rum", this Varadero distillery is among the best places in town to stock up on the island's iconic alcoholic drink (multiple varieties, including flavoured ones, are on offer). Take the tour to learn more about the process of rum-making.

Librería Hanoi

Librería Hanoi

This central Varadero location is the place to go if you're looking for an old-fashioned, sand-resistant paperback to fill the lazy hours at the beach. The particular outlet stocks a good selection of English-language literature (in addition to the customary for Cuban bookstores ideologically-approved editions in Spanish).

Centro Comercial Hicacos

Centro Comercial Hicacos

The selection at Varadero's underground mall may offers a modest yet comprehensive selection of stores to meet nearly all traveler needs. The central location (at Parque de las 8000 Taquillas) makes it an easy choice for anything from clothing to authentic Cuban rum.

Plaza Las Morlas

Plaza Las Morlas

The shopping and entertainment center in Varedero's modern marina is still in its early days of development, but already contains several small boutiques (deli foods, clothing, etc.), coffee shops and eateries, as well as a few pastime options such as a bowling alley.

Plaza America

Plaza America

Varadero's first proper shopping mall still stands, and although the array of shops may seem underwhelming to an outsider, there are some rather useful tourist locales here, such as a bank, pharmacy, a few souvenir shops and stores selling anything a traveler may need.

ARTex Store & Handicraft Market

ARTex Store & Handicraft Market

ARTex specializes in all things music, offering a great selection of music and art paraphernalia from T-shirts to records to musical instruments. You'll find the market opposite Acuazul Hotel (Calle 12), while the store itself is just a stone's throw away from Iglesia Santa Elvira.
