Search airfares in Varadero

By bus

The bus terminal Terminal de Ómnibus (the corner of Calle 36 and Autopista Sur) accepts Astro buses from Havana (CUC $ 8, en route 3 hours), Santa Clara (CUC $ 12, 3, 5 hours) and Cienfuegos (CUC $ 14, 4 hours). Also air-conditioned Víazul buses go to Havana every day at 8am, 11:40 and 6pm (CUC $ 10), to Trinidad at 7:30 am (CUC $ 20, 6 hours), Santa Clara (CUC $ 11, 3, 5 hours ) and Cienfuegos (CUC $ 16, 4, 5 hours).

Going to Havana by buses Víazul, keep in mind that they do not go to the central bus station. Get off better at the first stop after the tunnel, where to transfer to the Astro bus to Terminal de Ómnibus (near the Plaza de la Revolución). While Víazul will go further on the unattractive street Av 26 in Nuevo Vedado.

However, the easiest way to get to Havana is to book a place in a group tourist bus at the reception in the hotel or in the Havanatur office. In this case, it is not necessary to book a guide or guide service, you can only buy a transfer Varadero - Havana - Varadero (CUC $ 30 in both directions, 25 - one way). These buses take tourists directly from the hotel.

The resort is well suited for families with children: there is a calm sea and a shallow bottom of the coast.

On auto

You can hire a car in Havanautos (Calle 55 or corner Av 1 and Calle 31, as well as at the hotels Cuatro Palmas and Villa Tortuga), Transtur (Calle 10 No 703, the corner of Av 1 and Calle 21 and the SuperClub Paradiso-Puntarena, Club Tropical, Internacional and Cuatro Palmas), Cubacar (corner of Av 1ra and 54 at Tuxpán and Sol Elite Palmerasa hotels), as well as in Vía Car Rental (corner of Av 3 & Calle 30, opposite Apartamentos Mar del Sur). Many of these companies also have racks at Plaza América. At the airport are represented the rent-a-car offices of Havanautos, Transtur, Vía and Cubacar. The rental price is from CUC $ 65 per day for a small subcompact (from CUC $ 50 per day for a minimum lease of 2 weeks).

The most budgetary cars are from Micar (Villa Cuba, Av 1 corner and Calle C, angle Av 1 and Calle 20), which offer Fiats from CUC $ 35 per day, including 100 km mileage and insurance. Luxury cars are worth looking for in Rex (three offices: Meliá Las Américas, Autopista del Sur Km 7, airport), for example, Audi with automatic transmission, which is very rare for Cuba, from CUC $ 100 per day.

The nearest Servi-Cupet refueling is at the corner of Autopista Sur and Calle 17; (24 hours) near the Hotel Sunbeach, and one more - Centro Todo En Uno - at the corner of Calle 54 and Autopista Sur.

When you leave Varadero for Havana, you must pay CUC $ 2.

They are protected from the sea element by the largest coral reef in the Caribbean Sea. The resort is well suited for families with children: there is a calm sea and a shallow bottom of the coast. As for the hotels, in Varadero there are many world "chains", mainly Spanish: Sol Melia, Barcelo, Iberostar. Over the past few years, most hotels have switched to an all-inclusive system.
