  • Do I need to bring local currency to Cuba?

    Cuba uses two currencies, the Cuban Convertible Pesos (CUC) and the Cuban Pesos (CUP); as a tourist, you will be using the CUC. Since you can only obtain CUC in Cuba, bring euros or pounds for conversion. Ensure that the bank notes you bring are in good condition (e.g. no tears) and issued by the Bank of England. Do not change your money at places other than Cadecas, large hotels or banks. You can find Cadecas in the major airports. When doing any transaction, make sure that you receive the correct currency, as the CUC has a higher value than the CUP and they look very similar.
