While on a tour from our cruise ship, Majesty of The Seas, we saw this awesome fort, learned of its history, took pictures, explored some of the forts wonders and saw a display of an 80 foot Cuban cigarWow! The tour we were on was 'Old Havana City Sightseeing'. I highly recommend this fascinating tour with so much to see, do and learn. Our tour guide Nilda was polite, informative, very knowledgeable and had a sense of humor. Seeing Cuba and this fort was a great experience.

Great restaurant and atmosphere. Went here on a recommendation for the tour guide we were with. Portions are large and side orders are provided as shareable a with free refills so if you are still hungry after eating your main course you can just fill up on rice and beans !

Enjoyable day out. There was an art exhibition on at the time of visiting with some very interesting pieces. We chose to take the ferry which was very cheap and quite a fun way to get to the island, it is also possible to take a cab.

The daily cannon firing at 9 PM is spectacular and the whole tradition really takes some time. Go early to find a good spot and don't forget to enjoy the view of the city on the other side of the bay.

We arranged with our taxi driver to wait for us until the firing was finished, might be handy when you want to travel back to the city.

The tradition of the nightly canon firing ceremony is amazing. It draws foreigners and Cubans alike. Make sure you get there between 7:30 and 8:00pm to pick a good place right behind the chains in front of the canon. Make yourself a favor and DO NOT pay for the "VIP" seating. You can bring your own food/beverage or buy one there.

Beautiful views of the city from here. Che Guevara’s house and Jesus Critso statue. Make sure to hit up the beverage cart on your way out delicious piña coladas there

Very nice night with my family. At la Cabaña. After the Cannon shot exactly at 9 pm the rain start falling and was very cold, the artisan has a beatiful collection of cubans objects, including old cars, indian faces, cigars, ballerins, magic box and a lots more, please reach on time. I mean at least 15 minutes before, not like us that we reach almost there 4 minutes before they shot the cannon. The ceromony was very nice and remebered the colony times. I invited my lovely "Min sjeleven Minerva" along with my parents. This place is highly recommended, you will enjoy this place.

The guide was informative and pleasant with good English. A good experience but quite a long visit, so probably need a couple of hours to take it all in - it's quite a walk around. Very interesting and good views as well. I'd give it 8 out of 10.

Impressive structure and stunning views of Havana. More explanations of the various parts of the structure and the history could make it much more interesting. If you climb through all the halls to see all the parts, you will eventually come across some very nasty, unmaintained parts. Avoid the shops and vendors that set up a few hours before the cannon shots go off at 9 p.m. just down the street at the other fort. You should visit, but it could be so much better with a little curation of information.

It should be noted that in la Cabaña, Che Guevara had 300 so called "counter-revolutionaries" homosexuals and dissidents tortured and executed. Without previous trial, of course. It's one of the darkest places one can visit in Havana. It's like vising the death chamber in Huntsville (the view is significantly better in la Cabaña though). By paying the admission fee you support the government which is still responsible for those and many more executions and human rights abuses now and in recent history.

It's a good place to learn the history but I wouldn't buy the liquor or cigars from there again. There was another place I went to which was way cheaper for the same things I bought.

Cuba, What a beautiful country to visit. Take a ride in an old classic car, and stop to see the longest cigar in the Guinness Book of World Records

Awesome historical fortress!! Be sure to check out the cigar shop, which offers great deals on boxes of cigars, rum, and coffee. Also stop by the display for the longest cigar in the world cool place!

They need a better way to organize people around the celebration because if I hadn't spoken up, it could have been ruined for everyone by some obnoxious tourists. Be mindful to get a front row seat otherwise you may be forced to wait for 20-30 minutes just to have someone in front of you obnoxiously lift their partner onto their shoulders who record with their go pro. No matter how tall you stand or even on a cannon (like I did), you can't see over those types of people. Avoid it by waiting around an hour or even two earlier if you can because some people are just rude. Ceremony is 15 minutes long but well worth the wait. Shopkeepers do haggle and many are selling the same items so keep walking if you don't like the price. Enjoy~

Beautiful old fortress complex. The scale was beyond anything I expected. Makes sure to take advantage of exploring around where you can.

Beautiful historical place. You can feel the greatness of ancient construction when you see the building structure standing after +450 years (yes, +450) Sadly there's no much information offered to the tourist about when it was built and the purpose of it. Great place to see the city from another angle and wander around.

A great spot to fresh pressed sugar cane juice, at the gates and to view the blowing of the canon at 9pm each night in Havana, with the acting out of the soldiers and slaves in a tradition that has gone on since the Spanish first built their forts in Cuba.

This is an amazing place to visit!!!! It's a beautiful ancient construction and the show they have at night is so great! Do not miss this spot!

A beautiful place to see the whole city. Reminded me of the fort in San Juan, PR.

You can also get Cohibas and Havana Club rum in the store and watch the record-holder of the longest cigar make cigars.

Take pictures and enjoy the view of this massive fort.

The canon firing of the 9 o'clock was an amazing ceremony. There is a really nice exhibition of Che Guevara and the views of the downtown Havana and the ocean are spectacular. Visit the Cabaña close to the 6pm so you can catch the sunset and stay for the canon firing.
