About Museo Hemingway Finca Vigia

Located about 20 minutes from Central Havana, The Museo Hemingway is a chance to inspect from the outside the Cuban home of Ernest Hemingway and the tower in which he wrote. The building is open to view through the windows and doorways but is cordoned off to prevent actual entry. Visitors can get a sneak-peek into the life and possessions of Hemingway.

The former 'nest' of Earnst Hemingway is now a beautiful museum in Havana, Cuba. After the renowned writer passed away, his property was taken under government control and turned into a museum through restoration processes. You will get an ultimate feel of the life that the writer led by looking at the ambiance that was created in the house. The famous books that were written by Hemingway, pictures of his personal as well as professional life, the furniture of his house, all have been arranged perfectly enough to give the place an 'authorly' vibe. Literature enthusiasts will especially be very interested in visiting this place and enjoy living the life of a writer for a few moments.
