How & where to get CUC cash money on Cuba ?
See your guidebooks. On the international airport of Havana are several bank counters to obtain or change CUC: two next to each other in the arriving hall and two on the first floor for checking in for departure flights, located before customs (after customs is one small office, but this one is not always open). Here you can change cash money (eg cash Euros, GBP, Swiss Francs etc; cash USD is not recommended for the high transaction commission !), use traveler cheques (not issued in the USA) of Visa or MasterCard, or your credit card Visa or MasterCard (not issued in the USA). There is also an ATM downfloor in the arrival hall, but in general for Cuba it is better not to rely on the ATM¨s and you can better decide to leave your normal / debit bankcard at home. In every place the best is to go to a change office of Cadeca. Their opening hours are more extended then a usual bank and they are especially for tourists.
