Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro (Morro Castle)
Bästa tid att besöka
Early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and enjoy golden light for photos; weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends.
Budgettips
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.

Snabba fakta: 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.
Höjdpunkter: 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.
Insidertips
- 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.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Havana, Cuba, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
