About Museo de la Revolución

Housed in the former Presidential Palace, this museum covers Cuban history from colonial times through the 1959 revolution. The bullet holes in the walls are from a 1957 attack on the palace. Entry is about $8 USD for foreigners, locals pay a small fraction.

💡 Skip the overpriced audio guide. Bring small CUP notes for the locked donation boxes in some rooms. The Granma Memorial outside (the yacht used in the 1956 landing) is free to view through the fence; you can see it from outside the museum grounds.

Opening hours: Tuesday–Sunday 9:00–17:00 (last entry 16:00)
