Dining

Food options inside the terminal are limited to a small café offering basic snacks, sandwiches, and beverages. Visitors are advised to explore Camagüey's city centre for more substantial dining, where paladares (private restaurants) serve traditional Cuban cuisine. Options improve significantly once in the historic district, roughly 10 kilometres from the airport.

Traveller Tips

Carry Cuban Pesos (CUP) as card facilities and currency exchange at the airport are very limited.
Book taxis or transfers in advance through your hotel, as metered cabs are scarce at this airport.
Allow extra time for check-in as staffing and processes can be slower than at larger Cuban airports.
The historic centre of Camagüey is a UNESCO site — plan a city walk to see its famous tinajones (large clay pots) and colonial plazas.
