Changing Money in Havana, Cuba
Havana
Changing money in Havana, Cuba is a bit complicated.
You’ll generally need to get convertible pesos (say “pesos” or CUC).
If you have USD, you’ll wind up paying .80 USD = 1 CUC, which is pretty high.
The better deal is to have either CAD, GBP or EUR.
Euros are most favorable, so if at all possible plan on buying euros ahead of your trip.
Unfortunately if you’re currently in the US, it’s not very easy.
There’s a money exchange (“Cadeca”) in the airport that charges the same as everywhere else, so feel free to change a lot of money when you step off the plane at the airport in Cuba.
