Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro (Morro Castle)
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and enjoy golden light for photos; weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends.
Conseils budget
Modest entry fee is charged at the ticket booth, usually equivalent to a few US dollars; pay in cash and bring small bills since card payment is unreliable, and no major city pass includes the castle.

À propos
Faits rapides: Perched at the harbor entrance, its thick stone walls still echo with cannon fire and offer sweeping sunset views that photographers obsess over. A daily tradition of firing a cannon at sunset has been maintained for over a century, drawing crowds who press against the battlements to feel the thunder and taste the salty air.
Points forts: Every night at 9pm a single cannon shot rings out from the old fort as a ritual called the cañonazo, the boom rattles nearby windows and leaves a coppery tang of gunpowder in the salt air. Climb the jagged ramparts and you can stand beside an 1840s stone lighthouse, feel the limestone warm under your palm, and watch fishermen cast lines against the endless turquoise of the bay.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear sturdy shoes, the ramparts and stone steps can be uneven and slippery.
- Bring water and sun protection because shade is limited on the walls.
- Best photo spots are the lighthouse platform for bay panoramas and the western ramparts for sunset shots.
- Avoid unofficial guides at the entrance, buy the ticket and join a scheduled guided tour from the official office if you want commentary.

Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

À la fin, donnez simplement le pourboire que vous jugez juste
J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Havana, Cuba, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
