Havana Travel Forum

Hello, I´m going to fly to Havana and my boyfriend´s gonna fly to Varadero. I need to get from the Havana airport to Varadero (to the airport or to our hotel). Does anybody know about any direct connection? And is it safety for alone girl? Thanks a lot for answer. Barbora - Czech rep.

Viazul buses or a taxi colectivo arrange trip pay in Cuban CUC or foreing currency prefer dollars but euros ok. done outside your hotel ; yes it is safe for girl alone.

There are buses from the airport to Varadero and it is very safe for anyone. I suggest you look at www.cuba-junky.com and www.viazul.com

Have a great trip

To my knowledge, there are no direct bus services from Havana Airport to Varadero. but from havana bus station there are three buses daily to varadero airport and varadero. you should coordinate your times, since varadero airport is outside varadero.. you could meet at the hotel..
it is possible to take a taxi from the airport in havana to varadero, but it might be a tad expensive.
bus schedules on viazul which is the bus service for people paying in CUC (cook or cuban convertible pesos) www.viazul.cu
If you arrive early enough during the day you might be able to catch the last bus from havana to varadero. always take panataxi which is yellow in colour since they charge the lowest, other car companies charge varying kilometrages..

Expect to pay 25CUC from Havana airport to bus station then to take Viazul bus to Varadero.

Maybe you will find other travellers going from havana airport to varadero and you could share a taxi..Otherwise like the other people told you go to Havana and then with viazul.It is safe to travel alone..i have done it plenty times in cuba. Also you could maybe fly to varadero.
