You will find something for everyone here. Prices are reasonable overall but we found the market across from the Beatles bar was the cheapest.

This is a must do but if you don't like waiting for the bus take a cab from your resort because waiting for the bus can take a while!Lot's to see and the best street for many goodies is 15 street flee market my advice is look around before you buy because the same stuff is available for much cheaper just a few boutiques down the isle! and if you like paintings don't fall for the it's a one of a kind original because it isn't! most are prints.I have to admit they are very good at selling but you can chop the price by 5 pesos minimum if you tell them you seen it in another booth for less! Get a horse and buggy ride there fun and you can deal with the driver for an all day ride if you want to go to a few booth's on the main drag.

Took a Double Decker Bus from our resort into the Varadero Market.My husband is in the business of negotiating prices for his job and shopping at the market was no different.We did get some money off at a few places but some people wouldn't budge no matter what.My husband was amused to find that a lot of the merchandise at the market was made in China.There were a lot of boxes that said Varadera made in China.We did meet a lot of nice people on our venture and enjoyed the day out..

Visited here for a few hours after getting the hop on hop off bus (just 5 pesos return).Mostly lots of small shops and market type areas all selling similar wooden ornaments,paintings , hats etc the stuff is a lot cheaper than I expected and we didn't,t feel pressured into buying.I did buy a wooden hand carved lizard and a small painting both really cheap. There is also a UNICEF school on the Main Street and we went and bought some pencils and books from a local shop to give to them. They have to be careful when accepting gifts as the teacher we spoke to was careful when she took our gifts as the police were across the road but they didn't really take any notice. They need pens,pencils,paper etc. all in all worth a trip.

The people who were selling on the streets were NOT Pushy!! We were able to look with out purchasing!

tipping ans tp. Two negatives for me. theres a huge premium on tp. Locals ration it and want tips for it. I had my own but there was a dirty look if you had you own and one old woman in the museum was biligerant when she insisted on a tip just to use the bathroom (I can tell you the tip reflected the service). She responded inkind. The hand out for everything got to the point of being ridiculous. I'm not a cheapskate and if I handle my own luggage and you try to take it and move it a foot I'm not tipping you! It's enough to affect my desire to go back.

Probably the best place to buy souvenirs and anything Cuban locally. Hotel prices are way higher for goods and these guys will barter pretty low. Enjoy the experience and buy any souvenirs you want to bring home here. Good for an hour or so of browsing while visiting the Varadero strip.

There is one main street where the local vendors are. The leather souvenirs were priced so reasonable and the quality is good, they are made of raw hide leather. I bought many leather souvenirs for our family. Keep your money close to you, we wore our fanny packs and brought our passport with us. You just never know....Enjoy your shopping. From our resort we took the smaller version of a voyageur cost of 2CUC, drops you off at a particular street and returns every hour on the hour for your return cost again of 2CUC. Varadero airport duty free times 4 stores has good souvenirs and leather goods. After visiting Varadero and seeing the poverty, we are truly appreciative of what we have back home in Ottawa, Canada

We enjoyed this lots to see. Eventually after a few stops we found even in Havana everyone offer the same things over and over. Kinda makes you wonder where the items are made if they are even from Cuba

I'm not a big market guy, but the women in my house love to wander through the stalls and look at all the things you can buy. I enjoyed the stalls with the art work in primarily as that was what I was looking for. My teenage girls also found some great, unique local art and my wife could shop for hours so she always enjoys all the stalls no matter what they were selling.
