Fusterlandia in Colon

Worth a visit if your in that part of Havana, otherwise its along way from the city centre and theres so much more to see in Havana

Must- see stop if visiting Cuba! Approximately 25 minute drive from Havana, give or take 30USD round trip. Driver will wait for you. Beautiful art work. Mosaics everywhere. Quite a few vendors as well. Highly recommend!YouTube: nukeyhovInstagram: nukeyhov

Fusterlandia is a wonderful inspiring place inspired by Gaudi, Picasso, Brancusi among other artists. It is located in Havana, northeast of the city, in Jaimanitas, a fishing village. From the moment you arrive you can see the ceramic walls, the result of a great job started in 1990. The exact address is 5ta y 226 playa, which is where you enter, then the signs guide you.

Spectacular art project reminiscent of Gaudi parks in Barcelona. Definitely should be on a short list of things to do in Havana.

Its a masterpiece and therefore well worth seeing - it shouldnt take too longI would haggle with the taxi driver and state a nearby location as you will probably increase the likelihood of being overcharged if you mention Fusterlandia

If you got time this is a must, highly recommend it.Make sure you follow me on Instagram @ atribecalledfilm

What a strange place to find on the outskirts of Havana. Getting there might be a challenge since you need to haggle a taxi who is out there to deceive you the moment they hear you are going to Fusterlandia.The place itself is really unique. It is filled with slowly crafted buildings that are straight out of a drug infused dream. Pictures cannot give justice for how overwhelming it is since there is so much detail in all of the surrounding structures.There are groups coming in after 14:00 so it is recommended to visit before that time.

Great place, so many beatiful peaces to see..

Amazing. I didnt expect much, but this place is incredible. The house, and the surrounding neighborhood. Definitley a must see

This is a fun part of Havana! We took a taxi out here and the driver waited while we walked around for about 45 minutes. Fusterlandia has such creative energy it was a lot of fun. I recommend it to anyone who has more than a couple days in Havana. The taxi wasn’t cheap though. We paid $35 to go and be brought back from the old town. I’m sure not the cheapest possible; but that gives you a sense.

Very similar to escada Selaron in Rio de Janeiro. Art using concrete, ceramic tiles mosaics inspired by Miró, Van Gogh etc. Unfortunately it was pouring during our visit, floor was super slippery

We went there last week. We lost the opportunity to visit Fuster house which is the most important thing to see there however it was such a great experience. Its a poor neighborhood outside of Havana. We paid 30 cuc by taxi from central Havana to take us there and to bring us back. Its cheap if you have in consideration the distance. People were extremely nice and there are a lot of kids playing in the streets. Check some photos I took of the place.

Awesome Cuban artist, you can purchase his art at his house.

Despite the inspiration of the author Foster from Gaudi art, this place feels authentically Cuban. I loved it!

For lovers of the quirky and colourful, this heart felt passion project involves millions of tiles and a it is obvious the Fuster is a passionate dedicated artist who love his city and is loved by the people.

Lovely artisan home and village created by mister Fuster. The area was rebuilt after a hurricane about 25 years ago when Mister Fuster offered to fix the roofs of neighbors houses as well as long as they could be done with his artistic style. Now you can tour the main house and check out the other houses in the area. We went on a Sunday and it wasnt overly crowded. You can make a donation, buy art from the shop (you might even have a chance to meet Mr. Fusters oldest grandsonand take in and try to interpret all of the beauty that was so painstakingly done. There is a bathroom on-site. Dont forget to check out the other artists and galleries in the area such as Beatriz whose shop is at the corner, and who will be exhibiting in New York this summer. - Id definitely go back the next time Im in Havana.

This is an interesting place to visit. This sheer scale of the mosaics are impressive: they seem to be everywhere. This however is an art form that strongly appeals to some and less so to others. It is certainly worth a trip to see, but about half an hour satisfied me. Interestingly, smaller children also seemed to be interested, but make no mistake this is an art display not an amusement park.

Very unique area to visit. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing an well worth a cab ride to visit. Its a work in progress with art enveloping the whole neighborhood. Fabulous detail and color.

Inspired by the work and a homage to Gaudi and Picasso, Cuban artist Jose Fuster has turned his home and the neighborhood village into a masterpiece tilework and kaleidoscopic colors - a street art extravaganza, an artsy village.The result is unofficially known as Fusterlandia, an ongoing art project that covered several blocks with whimsical but highly stylized public art. The centerpiece is Fusters own house, Taller Estudio Jose Fuster, a sizable residence decorated from roof to foundation by art, sculpture and mosaic tiles of every color and descriptions. Located in the village of Jaimanitas, west of Havana. Its completely free! But donations is appreciated. You can take the local bus to get there, or a taxi is about CUC 20 each way.

Everything here is amazing. The art surrounds you. I love that he decided to make his neighborhood a better place and acted on it!

Amazing place to see. Everything was done by hand. It is very beautiful. You will see houses bus stops walls and more.

The community and structure of the building itself was really amazing. I, personally, didnt really care for the art, and it seemed to me like the art for sale was sort of overpriced. Granted, I dont know much about art, so I could be wrong on that. Overall, cool place to visit, but you dont need much time here, and it seems to be sort of out of the way of other attractions.

If you want to see something different and creative while in Cuba, ask to go to Fusterlandia. Mosaic tiles cover the neighborhood with color and joy!. Walk slowly and dont miss all the intricate art work displayed. An escape from reality for a moment as your immersed in this colorful, playful world. I find it breathtaking.

Fabulous public art integrated with sense of community in beautifully decadent Havana.A kaleidoscope of artistic expression in streets and buildings.The artist José Fuster started covering his house with tiles then worked with neighbors to tile the other houses, transforming a poor Havana fishermen suburb into a major attraction. A wonderful example of how community art can bring economical development.

Wildly beautiful and fascinating! While its a ways out of the city (you have to taxi or busits so worth it for the amazing whimsical mosaics. You can also reach a small (and not great, but you can swimbeach (playa de jaimanitasaround the corner to make the trip out of Havana more worth while!

Good for a quick visit. Neighborhood is pretty neat looking as well. Art is overpriced, but thats to be expected.

Hidden gem. Must see place. Such beautiful art work

Good place to waste a few hours from the chaos of downtown Havana. Very interesting place but only for an hour and a half tops. 15 - 20cuc for a taxi each way from central Havana and the driver will wait while you saunter around.

Cool spot. It can be experienced in about 20 minutes, but what is really compelling is some of the art being sold along the street. I met an incredibly talented Afro-cuban artist here with work that speaks to the soul. Its beautiful to find artists who want to connect with individuals and dont get upset when you cant afford to buy their masterpieces. But... do try to support Cuban art and buy some smaller pieces or knickknacks that are easy to take home (if you are in Cuba on vacation).

I am not an artsy kind of guy, and I didnt think I would be too thrilled seeing this. But after going there, I really liked it. The amount of time and effort this must have took is amazing. It was a really neat thing to see!

If you love art, this is a great place to visit. I cant imagine how the could be completed in one lifetime!!

What a wonderful side trip from Havana and definitely worth the effort to get there. A feel of Gaudis Barcelona.

Place is amazing! So much to see and something new to find everywhere you look. Its a masterpiece.

Quirky and interesting. You cant help but wonder how they had all the time to do this. Check the photos 😁

If you love art and culture, this is the place for you!! I loved it here! And my tour guide that I booked through Airbnb was awesome! He was full of facts and loved showing this side of town! It was an overall great experience

An eclectic and quirky art project/home that is well worth a visit. Spiraling staircases and columns lead you through a colorful ceramic tile filled property that has a lot of character. It almost reminds me of the visionary art museum in Baltimore, Maryland. No fee for entry, be prepared to feel hot as there is no air conditioning anywhere on premise... it is Cuba after all. There is a bathroom with an attendant who you do have to pay for use of the facilities. No pictures are allowed inside the art gallery, but the rest of the property is fair game. It is about a 20 minute drive from the port terminal if you are coming from a cruise.

Free art area definitely worth a visit. Several local artists selling some very cool pieces.

This is their Disney. A neighborhood transformed by one man. His home behind the green doors was closed. His influence spread for several blocks. Other artists live there and I was able to go through his studio.

One of a kind! Demonstrates the power of art to transform a neighborhood and create an environment.

Very intersting mosaics sculptures. Very colorful and most of all free. Few shops around seems like a lot of the similar merchandise sold everywhere except for some of the paintings. Negotiate if you want the best price.

An amazing neighborhood all tiled and decorated with whimsical designs. If youre into Gaudi this is inspired by him and his work, and Id say it was about my favorite thing in all of Havana.

Fun area of mosaic art and sculptures. Fuster was inspired by Gaudi and Picasso art, in time he turned his impoverished neighborhood into a piece of art! Worth visiting to walk around and take pictures.

Should you get the chance, certainly visit Cuba. The history is fantastic, the people are pleasant and Fuesterlandia? Very cool! We were happy to purchase some of his art work. The whole experience tells lots of stories.

A fun little stop, with a chance to not only see, but also purchase art from one of Cubas best known artists. Even if you dont care for the style, you cant help but appreciate the time, effort and generosity of Fuster, who set every single tile himself and at no cost to his neighbors who requested it.

A beautiful spot covered and surrounded by stylized art and depictions of Afro-Cuban religion and culture, including a small gallery featuring pieces within the artists consistent motif. A lot can be learned here with related souvenirs for sale close by.

It is pretty small and far away. There was a lot of work put into it. Negoriate taxi for 20 cu round trip from Havana. Stop a taxi car on the street and just say your price clearly. Paeked taxi is twice as expensive

Very unique and artistic area. The artist is alive and greets you at his house, which is also the place. He sells his art and the entrance and access to this area is all free.

Awesome art work used to beautify an impoverished community. And the sculptor did it for free. The community looks good and every inch of his home is "over the top".Seeing his work and understanding the history is uplifting. Enjoy it and consider buying something or leaving a donation to continue the good work. I did!

A must see close to Miramar neighborhood, Havana. This local artist turned his multiple story property into a ceramic piece of art. Make sure to donate or buy one of his ceramic pieces. Truly amazing!
