I know that for a long time it was closed on Sundays. I thought it still was closed on Sundays, but the website hemingwaycuba (TripAdvisor won't let me post the actual website address) says it is open 10-4 Mon.-Sat. and 9 to 1 Sun. You might try calling the museum at +53 7 8910809 (probably need to speak some Spanish). Also, try emailing one of the good local tour operators in Havana such as Cubaoutings, either from their website. They can respond in English.

Q:
What tour excursion package did you use from the port? we are wondering about the cars tour versus the best of Havana express at Hemingways house from RCarib. Not sure if the best of Havana tour stops at Finca to tour the house.

Hi, we just took taxi from el Malecón to museum, they waited and took us back. We paid 5 per person total 25 cuc just for cab.
Q:
. Curious if you were /or anyone was on a cruise excursion and had a good trip to Finca Vigia ?
A:
Hemmingway's house is a must if you are in Cuba. I was not on a cruise nor on a tour- I was visiting family (after 54 years) and had a family friend drive me there.
