Acuario Nacional
This aquarium, located in Habana Vieja, features eight tanks
displaying some truly beautiful freshwater fish, along with coral
and other tropical species. Children will love the aquarium and
will enjoy watching the dolphins, sea lions and seals, while
parents can enjoy lunch in the aquarium's underwater restaurant.
The subject of a recent renovation, the Acuario Nacional now also
boasts a spellbinding display of brightly coloured saltwater fish.
Consistently voted one of Havana's top tourist attractions for
kids.
Information & Facts
Address

Admission
CUC$7 (adults), CUC$3 (students and children under
12)
Language
The official language is Spanish, but English is spoken
in the main tourist spots.
Money
The official currency is the Cuban Peso (CUP), divided into 100
centavos, but the 'tourist' currency is the Peso Convertible (CUC),
which replaces the US Dollar as currency in tourist related
establishments like hotels, restaurants and so called 'dollar
shops'. US Dollars are no longer accepted as payment, and a 10%
commission or more is charged to exchange them, therefore the best
currency to bring along is Euros, the British Pound or Canadian
Dollars. The CUC is almost equal in value to the US Dollar. Some
places only accept Cuban pesos and others only Pesos Convertible
(usually tourist related establishments). Money should only be
changed at official exchange bureaux or banks to avoid scams
confusing the two currencies. Visa and MasterCard are generally
accepted only in major cities and hotels as long as they haven't
been issued by a US bank; Diners Club has limited acceptance, and
American Express is not accepted anywhere on the island. Travellers
cheques are less readily accepted than credit cards, but all major
currencies are acceptable, except for US bank issued cheques. No
US-issued credit or debit cards will work in ATMs, but those
holding other cards issued in other countries should be able to get
pesos at most major tourist destinations. Euro or Sterling
travellers cheques are accepted at Cuban banks and Bureaux de
Change.
