Cuba It has an acceptable transportation infrastructure made up of paved roads that allow connections between various parts of the country. For tourists it is advisable to opt for means of land transportation that are paid in dollars, since those that are paid in national currency are usually of insufficient quality.
Within the main media land transportation in Cuba we have:
The Omnibus. Most used land transport in Cuba and that has several lines that connect the main cities of the country. The most recommended is the Vía Azul (located on 26th street of Nuevo Vedado in Havana) since it connects the tourist destinations more important with Havana. The comfort is acceptable, the exact hours and the price has an average of 8 euros.
Another recommended company is Astros. This line specializes in interprovincial buses and provides services to both citizens and foreigners. It is cheaper than Vía Azul, but usually has deficiencies in meeting schedules.
By car In Cuba we will find various car rental companies, the average price is 30 euros per day (having to pay separately the cost of fuel, which is one euro per liter of gasoline and 70 cents per liter of diesel). Among the recommended companies we have Havanautos, Veracuba and Cubacar; These agencies have rental points in the main airports and hotels in the country, so it will not be difficult to find them.
By car we can reach all the tourist destinations on the island, except for Cayo Largo del Sur, the Jardines de la Reina and Cayo Levisa since they do not have access by roads. In addition, to travel Cuba by car we must bear in mind that we will find many rural roads where there is no lighting and signs to guide us.
The railway. It is one of the least used means of land transport in Cuba and least recommended to tourists. The Cuban railways They are not modern and do not comply with the safety and distribution regulations that tourists from North America and Europe are used to.
Despite its shortcomings, if there are visitors who use this means of transport, especially for long routes such as the Havana-Santiago de Cuba route, which we can do for 40 euros. The trains of Cuba are especially useful for lovers of adventure tourism and for those who have no problems making the journey without comforts, since these trains do not have sleeping cars or restaurants.
