Castillo del Morro, the impressive UNESCO World Heritage-listed San Pedro de la Roca Castle in Santiago de Cuba, offers a captivating historical experience with spectacular panoramic views. While accessible by taxi or bus from the city, visitors should be aware of numerous stairs and uneven surfaces within the fortress, limiting accessibility for those with mobility issues. You can explore independently, but a local guide often enhances the visit with rich historical insights. The site is generally open year-round, with the dry season (December-May) being ideal for comfortable exploration, though it's advised to bring water, sunscreen, and a hat due to the sun. An approximate entrance fee of 5-10 USD (or equivalent CUP) is typical, and visitors usually spend 1.5 to 3 hours exploring the ramparts, museum, and enjoying the coastal vistas.
