Should I exchange money before going to Cuba?
Should I exchange money before going to Cuba? It is advisable to exchange GBP for Euros or USD before you arrive in Cuba. Some hotels only accept bankcard payments. Check with your bank before you travel to confirm that your debit, credit and ATM cards will work in Cuba. It is currently illegal to exchange money other than at Cadeca exchange houses.
Does Cuba stamp your passport?
You may have noticed that a visit to other countries implied a visa stamp on your passport, but this is not valid for Cuba. Your passport will not get stamped upon entry. Only the Tourist Card will receive a Cuba visa stamp, but you need to keep it in your passport at all times.
