I rate it 5 stars not because it is a great shopping joint to me. But is a very good place for me to see how the local shopping mall look like in Havana. No air condition. Electronics item like 6-7 years ago which selling for very very high price. And everything has limited choices. Make me knowing to appreciate what I have back home. I do like the Burger place at the mall's entrance.

This rating is for the chocolate shop on the ground level. Rich, pure, delicious chocolates from Baracoa—something surprisingly (for a tourist like I) hard to find in Havana.

Whatever money you spend here goes to the Military Industrial complex called GAESA. They mark up everything at least 250%. People can not purchase in this store with the money they make. Only foreign currencies allowed and in cards. They keep the hard currency and the people gats issued ad store token(MLC). Most workers have to be corrupt or make 20$ a month in salary. Products are sold out before they go for sale because employees have special buyers that they keep informed when stuff shows up. Comunism is corruption.

Probably the only mall in Havana. Limited availability forces you to buy what is available. Very highly priced. Surprisingly you don't have to pay in Cuban pesos. Dollars or Euro only

I have never been to such a strange mall in my life. Fake stores and people employed to do nothing. So weird.

It has no AC in the walking area so be ready to sweat. But if you want to be in touch with locals this is a perfect place, that's why I am giving 5 start.

(Translated by Google) Nice market with many souvenirs some handmade at prices in line with other Cuban places. This market is located near the bar / club of the beatles and at calle 62. It can be reached by coco-taxi or on foot from some resorts overlooking the sea. For those who stay in Varadero for whole weeks and do not make excursions, this could be a pleasant discovery to observe the Cuban reality from another subjective (Original) Bel mercatino con tanti souvenir alcuni fatti a mano a prezzi in linea con altri posti cubani. Questo mercatino si trova vicino al bar/locale dei beatles e a calle 62. Si raggiunge in coco-taxi o anche a piedi da alcuni resort che affacciano sul mare. Per chi soggiorna a Varadero per settimane intere e non fa escursioni, questa potrebbe essere una piacevole scoperta per osservare da un'altra soggettiva la realtà cubana

(Translated by Google) This street market is near the terminus of the panorama bus. It's quite big and offers all kinds of craftsmanship in really good quality. You can find souvenirs, CDs and DVDs with current music typical of the country, handbags, purses, leather flip-flops, beach dresses, jewelry and much more. In the middle is a nice little snack bar with lots of seating. As far as I can tell this is the best street market in Varadero with good prices. (Original) Dieser Streetmarkt befindet sich in der Nähe der Endhaltestelle des Panorama-Busses. Er ist recht gross und bietet allerlei Handwerkskunst in wirklich guter Qualität. Man findet hier Andenken, Cd's und DVD's mit landestypischer aktueller Musik, Handtaschen, Geldbörsen, Leder-Flipflops, Strandkleider, Schmuck und vieles mehr. Mittig ist eine kleine nette Snackbar mit vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten. Soviel ich beurteilen kann ist dies der beste Streetmarkt in Varadero mit guten Preisen.

Arts and crafts market. It was a 20 minute walk from our hotel, Club Kawana. Good place to buy locally made souvenirs and support local artists.

Extremely noisy and crowded you need to secure your belongings and pay attention to the bill they always charge for something that you didn't bought it

One of the bigger shpping center in cuba. There are differents stores with a variety of products and other services inside of it.

It is the biggest shopping mall in Cuba and most of the shops inside are national. Due to the embargo in Cuba, don't expect the shops are well-stocked here. In the centre of the mall, there is an atrium with local fast-food stalls, amusement games for children. The circulation of the mall is in a continous ramp so that you can slowly walk to the uppermost floors without taking any stairs. It is a good place to experience the daily shopping experience of local Cuban.

Just because it's big doesn't mean you find what you need. You can't enter most of the shops with a bag back. Leave it at the cloakroom. The queue at the etecsa office is usually long.

For those from EU or Western countries. This is not a mall in those sense. It's a three story plaza with the majority of stores closed. Not worth the trip and getting constantly hassled outside the mall.

(Translated by Google) The Plaza Carlos III is probably one or the main "Mall" of Havana, with the variety of shops and products offered for the population, draws attention for its spiral ramp that leads through practically the entire square and each of its stores, in the end you can go back down the same or look for the stairs that are more direct to the floors below. (Original) La Plaza Carlos III es probablemente uno o el principal "Mall" de La Habana, con la variedad de tiendas y productos que ofertan para la Población, llama la atencion por su rampa en espiral que conduce por practicamente toda la plaza y cada una de sus tiendas, al final se puede volver a bajar por la misma o buscar las escaleras que son mas directas hacia los pisos de abajo.

(Translated by Google) A WORSE EXPERIENCE :. I imagine that most of the customers of online shopping have happened to them ... be it Carlos 3, 5ta and 42 or any of the disastrous portals for virtual purchases that instead of accommodating you that bother you more every day. .. Many as I know have asked countless questions which can not find answers and of course those in charge of giving it to you according to the stores do not have them or simply do not say that there are problems in the system ... I asked myself ... which system We are talking?... Aki listed several of the many questions I have asked myself ... 1- If when making the purchase then I can guess the product, I pay and at the moment they discount the money, it is assumed that this payment is a guarantee that this product is already mine, how can it happen that the day I managed to arrive it comes incomplete ...? 2- After 5 days transporting a product, how many more days do I have to wait if they only give me an answer by phone ... TOMORROW ... 3- If it is 5 to 7 business days because of so much ineffectiveness in deliveries? 4- Pq if my products do not arrive complete, do I have to wait more than 5 days for my money to be returned? I am tired of absurd and all different answers ... How have people like Raisa and Tania d Carlos 3 given me already ... as a final answer to my complaint they have told me that they are there only to bear the complaints of the customers ... that the "system" has always had problems and they don't even know how many heads to roll since they have to return too much money to customers because they have taken more orders than products in stock. Unfortunately I have to keep doing the unpleasant queues, but I really prefer it ... before continuing to deal with the ineffectiveness and bad work of online stores ... TODASSSSS ... FOR ME THEY HAVE BEEN A REAL DISASTER ... (Original) UNA MIS PEORES EXPERIENCIAS:. Me imagino q a la mayoría de los clientes de la compras on line les haya sucedido... ya sea de Carlos 3, 5ta y 42 o cualquiera de los desastrosos portales para compras virtuales q en vez de acomodarte lo q te molestan cada día más... Muchos como yo sé han hecho un sinnúmero de preguntas las cuales no encuentran respuestas y por supuesto los encargados d dártela según las tiendas no las tienen o simplemente t dicen q es problemas en el sistema... Me preguntó yo... d cuál sistema estamos hablando?... Aki enumero varias de las tantas preguntas q me he hecho... 1- Si al realizar la compra luego d lograr adivinar el producto, pago y al momento me descuentan el dinero, se supone q ese pago es una garantía d que ese producto ya es mío, como puede suceder q el día q logré llegar venga incompleto...? 2- Luego de 5 días transportando se un producto cuántos días más tengo q esperar si solo me dan como respuesta x telef ...MAÑANA... 3- Si son 5 a 7 días hábiles pq tanta ineficacia en las entregas? 4- Pq si mis productos no llegan completos tengo q esperar más de 5 días para q me devuelvan mi dinero?. Estoy cansado de respuestas absurdas y todas diferentes... Cómo las q me han dado personas como Raisa y Tania d Carlos 3 q ya... como respuesta final a mi queja me han dicho q ellas están ahí solo para soportar las quejas de los clientes... que siempre el "sistema" ha presentado problemas y q ni ellas saben cuántas cabezas rodar ya q tienen q devolver demasiada cantidad d dinero a los clientes producto a q sé han tomado más órdenes q productos en existencia.. Desgraciadamente tengo q seguir haciendo las desagradables colas, pero realmente lo prefiero.... antes de seguir lidiando con la ineficacia y el mal trabajo de las tiendas on line... TODASSSSS... PARA MI HAN SIDO UN VERDADERO DESASTREEEE...

(Translated by Google) Prices that are not consistent with the poor quality of the products, this is the fictional socio-communism that they offer for the people, because the rulers live CAPITALISM, traveling eating lobsters, making food conventions while children in schools do not have a proper food.

In the middle then also a post office counter, really droll! (Original) Nette Händler, nicht aufdringlich sondern freundlich und offen.

So great..stop and have a cerveza y people watch

It is what it is .. ......... ....

A nice little arts and crafts market and the place to go for souvenir shopping. Many interesting items and maybe some handmade by local artisans. Vendors are friendly and prices are reasonable. The same souvenirs are offered at several stands throughout the town.

Do not buy painting or art because once you get to the varadero airport you will have to pay export taxes as they are called for a stamp or your paintings will be seized, something the sellers will never tell you. Further buy no shells, you get them taken as soon as you return home at the airport by customs officials. Be careful what you buy and how much you pay.

(Translated by Google) Great selection, always happy (Original) Super Auswahl ,immer gerne wieder

There are quite a few of these markets around along the street but this is the biggest. Lots of great items for gifts and keep sakes. Price points are negotiable. You can find some really great quality items so keep your eye peeled!

Bought 4 pictures. Got to the airport and stopped by customs despite asking for a certificate. When customs unwrapped there were only 2 pictures. So the seller had tricked me. Plus the extra tax had to be paid. a young lad seems really nice. But Don't buy as they are con men.

(Translated by Google) Very nice market located in the center of the city of Varadero. This market, easily reachable by bus or on foot with a not too long walk if you are already in the city, is on the one hand a must, on the other a place frequented mainly by tourists, and therefore where to find excellent handmade souvenirs, but often the same in different shops. (Original) Mercato molto carino situato al centro della città di Varadero. Questo mercato, facilmente raggiungibile in bus o a piedi con una camminata non eccessiva se ci si trova già in città, è da un lato una tappa obbligata, dall'altro un luogo frenquentato principalmente da turisti, e quindi dove trovare ottimi souvenir fatti a mano, ma spesso uguali in diversi shops.

Maximum of toilet paper can be))) Even if sellers themselves stick in their pockets, such as a presentation on an especial price list)) and so on)) ) they work like until 18-19. They bought a panama hat for the child from the sun for 5 cookies. The quality is normal. There are a lot of souvenirs for every choice.

(Translated by Google) The Carlos III market-place is a good place to shop, although it is necessary to point out the excessive amount of people who are mostly just browsing. You can take some anime and light and there is room for children. Prices as in all Cuba "from countries where you earn $ 8 / h or more". (Original) La plaza-mercado Carlos III es un buen lugar donde hacer compras, aunque hay que señalar la excesiva cantidad de personas que en su mayoría sólo está curioseando. Se puede tomar algún anime yo ligero y hay lugar para los niños. Los precios igual que en toda Cuba "de países donde se gana $8/h o más".

Bought a few items here. It was a smaller market and something to do.

Can get tourist souvenirs for cheap, although we did have one guy overcharge us after burning our names into leather items. Live and learn. Also had restaurant workers come and try to lure us to their restaurants. Did have an excellent lunch at one place.

Ridiculously expensive cheap products as you can find in any other government stores in the island.

Loved the experience. Perfect place to go for souvenir shopping from local artisans. Reasonable prices

Best value market in Varadero.
