Almacenes San José Artisans' Market
Centro Cultural Antiguos Almacenes de Depósito San José
A large handicraft market in a converted port warehouse, selling oil paintings, wood carvings, Che Guevara souvenirs, leather goods and cigar boxes. Bargaining is expected.
The market sits at the southern edge of the Old Town, by the harbor, in a customs warehouse built in the late 19th century. Hundreds of stalls fill one large hall, making it Havana's densest spot for souvenirs: Cuban-themed oil paintings, vintage car models, wood carvings, handmade jewelry, guayabera shirts and more. Prices can usually be bargained down by 20 to 30 percent. Buy cigars at official tobacco shops to avoid fakes. Next door is a craft beer bar, a good place to rest after browsing.
