palacio de los capitanes generales印象

This was my only bad experience in Cuba. I paid 2 cuc in and was looking forward to perusing the ornaments and art. However a monoglottal guide insisted on hovering over my shoulder pointing at other items and shouting random words like 'baby'...as if I was too thick to recognise a cradle!I was polite and but it ruined the visit. I rushed through the rooms and I tipped...but was then told I had to tip all 5 guides. Two extra guides appeared at this point and said I should leave 5 cuc! A teacher earns 23 cuc a month. They were intimidating. Pure bullies. Don't go. There is a similar house in Trinidad where you will get a good tour in many languages and no nasty behaviour.

Visited here as part of a trip to Havana. The guide from the coach gave us a running commentary about each of the rooms and it was fascinating. A marvellous attraction for visitors to Havana.

Clear route round. Lots to see but perhaps could do with more labels in English. Slave quarters on lower floor.

At first we thought, O well another old building which you can visit. On the last day we decided to look inside and it really surprised us. Beautiful decorated rooms and we also had a well speaking english guide, it was great to see. The tour lasted about an hour, because we looked long to every beautiful furniture and artefacts. A must!

I just thought I was entering this building to see the courtyard in the middle but it's actually a museum in an old of a palace with all the room restored and displaying the period furniture and artworks. Brilliant and worth the visit.

I really liked this museum. The building itself is just beautiful and the exhibitions really interesting. I particularly liked the room with all the different old Cuban flags and the sword made by Tiffany's in 1896 in the glass case in the same room. It is a work of art.If you are partial to fine china and amazing french chandeliers then you will enjoy this museum.Be warned - photos are allowed but you pay an additional 5 CUC.

This palace is one of the most impressive and luxurious buildings in all of Cuba, it was once the official residence of the Spanish governor of Cuba, then the residence of the military governor of the US, then the Presidential Palace, City Hall, and now is the "Municipal Museum Museo de la Ciudad"You can see there all the history of the Cuban revolation.A must see museum !

Palace is situated on Plaza de Armas. There is always a lots of people and tourists moving around on this square, but actually just a few take a time to go in into museum, and it´s a pity, because museum is great. The wooden cobblestones in front of the palace were placed there instead of real ones because the governor did not like the constant sound of traffic in front of his residence, and so it is kept wooden until present day. Inside there is nice atrium, with galleries around it, and exposition tells about the original furnishing, about history of the colonial Cuba and its wars for independence.Very well worth a visit, and is a nice escape for a while from bustle of a central Havana. Plan one hour for this visit.Ticket for taking pictures inside costs 1 CUC, there is a souvenir shop and a toilets available inside.

Amazing restoration of a magnificent building and atonishing collection of carrozas and artifacts from the colonial times. Love it !

The building itself is beautiful, but I also enjoyed the many interesting displays of colonial furnishings and decorative arts. You can get a good idea of what the city was like in colonial times and also enjoy the peace and quiet of the museum when you want a break from the crazy noise and street activity in Old Havana, or on a rainy day when you don't want to be outdoors too much. Well worth a couple of hours to stroll leisurely through the building and enjoy all there is to see. Great for photographers.
