Cuban Currency
The Cuban Peso is locally known as “Peso Cubano”, “moneda nacional” or simply “MN”. It is used by both residents and visitors alike. You must use CUPs to cover most of your trip to Cuba costs. Most states and private facilities, and tourist attractions will accept CUP.

Moneda Libremente Convertible (MLC)

The “Moneda Libremente Convertible” (MLC) (freely convertible currency, in English) is a digital currency that Cuban residents can use at “dollar stores” (“tiendas MLC”). Because the informal exchange rate has nearly quadrupled the official exchange rate, private facilities, such as “Casa Particulares” (private rooms) and “paladares” (private restaurants) will prefer payment in euros, pounds and even US dollars

As a traveler, you cannot use US dollars in Cuba at any government-owned facility. Even the currency exchange offices in airports are no longer exchanging US dollars for CUPs. You can’t use credit or debit cards issued by US banks either.

That’s why, if you are traveling to Cuba from the US, we recommend exchanging your US dollars for Euros before landing in Cuban territory. The Euro is the best currency to bring to Cuba.

The Euro has the second-highest official conversion value, but you can sell it in the informal market for four times the official exchange rate. 1 EUR sells for about 26 CUPs at the government’s currency exchange offices, while people pay between 110 to 120 CUPs on the street.
Casaparticularbnb can’t recommend selling your Euros in the informal market because of the risk of currency scams, are rare, but they can happen. However, you can trust in your host, Cuban tour guide
The prices on the website appear in Euros, with this currency you must pay the Host when you arrive at the private house

Happiness: The guest can quickly develop genuine Cuban relationships and become deeply involved in the culture of the country. Before he/she knows it, the guest will be part of the family and be made to feel very special. Staying in a big resort makes slim the opportunity to talk to and make friends with the real people, only meeting hotel workers and other tourists. Freedom: The guest will enjoy the free and easy atmosphere, feel completely at home in the casa particular and will be able to invite friends over. The current regulations for state-run hotels don’t allow to have Cuban guests invited to hotel rooms. Less Expensive Trip: It is almost always cheaper to stay in a private room than in a hotel. The guest will have more money left to spend on taxis, restaurants, night clubs and museums. Helping people directly: By renting a casa particular, the guest will be directly contributing to a person or family's standard of living which allow the family to help other relatives as well. Knowledge: Cubans love to share knowledge about their country and their culture. In particular, Cubans love to discuss politics and share their views on the revolution - for good and for bad. In the comfort of a casa particular, the host may open up and share information that he/she might hesitate to share in public.
