Havana has always been a must-visit destination for most travellers thanks to its exotic vibe, combined with unique architecture and history. Getting from Havana Airport to the city centre is easy and there are two different options depending on your needs. The fastest and most convenient transportation option is to take an airport taxi or pre-book your personalised airport transfer to reach your destination directly. If you prefer a more budget-friendly option, you can take the bus; it’s a bit slower and it won’t take you directly to your destination but it’s a good option, especially if you’re exploring Havana as a solo traveller.

Where do I get the bus from?

Convenience
Getting from Havana Airport to Havana by bus is cheaper compared to taking an airport taxi so it’s a convenient transportation option if you want to stay within budget. However, the available bus routes run only a few times per day and the first departure is scheduled after noon so it’s not a good option if your flight arrives in the morning. Taking an airport taxi is a much faster and more convenient transportation option to reach your destination, especially if you’re travelling in a larger group or with young children.
Editor’s Note
Taking the bus is a great and cheap choice if you're a solo traveller and your flight arrival time allows you to catch the next bus departure. For larger groups or families, the ticket price will not be much cheaper than taking an airport transfer so you're better off taking a taxi instead.
