ARTex

ARTex is an interesting artisan cooperative located on the pedestrian 'Boulevard'. They showcase and sell their creations, including decorations, souvenirs, T-shirts and even collections of Cuban music.

Shopping

Most visitors to Cuba look for two things when shopping: rum and cigars. And while you can find them in droves (and always of the highest quality), there is more to be found. Cuban handicrafts and artworks are top-notch, and you can also find pretty unique tomes at some of the city's bookstores. The main shopping artery is a pedestrianized stretch of Calle Independencia, nicknamed the 'Boulevard'.
