This is another place Hemingway made famous. You must try a Daiquiri...my favorite are the coconut daiquiris. Also relax and listen to some music. I wouldn't suggest eating here. As it's very touristy and the food isn't great.

It is incredible that this pharmacy not only has survived but is still in use today. Worth visiting on a walk about in the centre of Havana. The double storey shelving is full of old pharmacy jars and there are other historic items on displays such as scales, microscope and an old prescription book.
