Museo Municipal
Housed in one of Varadero's prettiest early 20th-century summer houses, built entirely of wood and painted sky blue with white trim, this collection chronicles Varadero's early days as a resort. Of special interest are photographs of Che and Fidel "taking" the Hotel Internacional after the Revolution.
Parque Josone
Once the estate of a wealthy sugar-mill owner, since 1940 this public park, open daily, has been a tranquil spot with extensive gardens and a small lake with swans and flamingos. Rowboats are available for rent (less than CUC$2), and there's a small public pool, and open-air concerts some nights.
