Varadero
From World travel guide
Varadero is a relatively exclusive part of Cuba, abundant with private hotels, beach and golf courses. Fantastic beaches and clear turquoise warm water makes this an island lovers paradise. Note that Cubans are generally not allowed here unless resident.

Get in
- Airport. Many package tours fly directly to Varadero. There is a currency exchange booth in arrival hall.
- Taxi from airport to the town (about 10km) costs about CUC 25-30. It may be possible to bargain the fare to about CUC 20, but not much less.
- Buses arrive from Havana.
It may also be possible to get on a hotel transfer bus for about CUC 10, by negotiating with the driver.
If you are planning to continue to another town such as Matanzas or Havana by Viazul bus, you don't need to go to Varadero, because the bus stops at the airport after departing from Varadero and then continues to other destinations.
Get around
- Many visitors do not stray far from their package tour hotel, but much of the area can be seen on foot.
