Great video. Been to Varadero 4 times in the last 2 years , I always went to the usual places like beatles bar and Parque Josone and Calle 62 but never went that far west on the strip. Will definately go to all these places next time. Thanks for uploading.
Since you were staying right across the street from Calle 62... did they have a LIVE band any of the nights you were there, or are they still running the DJ and light show?
@@stephenroberts5616 I prefer to take at least two currencies as randomly certain businesses will prefer or only take one currency over others. From traveling across the island in 2023, I recommend in this order, USD, Euros, UK Pounds, and Canadian Dollars. So for you UK Pounds would be your main currency to carry in Varadero, with some Euros. It is far easier to use any of these currencies while in a tourist town like Varadero, but much less so, once you leave the tourist zone. Even in Havana, people may only accept USD or Euros. Additionally, you should carry about $20 worth of Cuban Pesos (CUP) as it can once again facilitate purchases at some places. Generally, staff at a hotel or casa will give you the best exchange rate while not trying to scam you as some people on the street might. Finally, do not bring large bills as people will have a hard time giving you change or exchanging them. Bring 5s, 10s and 20s only. Final Final tip, only USD come in 1s. These are excellent for tipping. Otherwise, use 100 CUP bills (or multiples of them) for tipping after exchanging for CUP.
Don't travel to Cuba. All money there left is used to finance the repression. Cuba is a dictatorship, the tourist enjoys the privilege denied to the cubans without freedom and rights.

I think it was mostly (all) DJ. We didn't spend much time at Calle 62 in the evenings. Nice place to have a drink though.

Enjoyed your video, I am a fellow Canadian also, what is the cad exchange rate
It varies, about 160 pesos per CDN$. Street rate.
How much is the bus in what currency?
Ahi compre ron y cigarros
Price $us or can$ ? 9:57
where was the bull riding lol
I forget the exact street, but mid town off the main street, part of a Cuban amusement park
Exchange your money with the locals. You will get way more than the bank, or airport.
where in the city bro
Bus tourisme $6 all day? In 2024
