You can book Viazul tickets in advance through their website (www.viazul.wetransp.com) or by phone; or directly at the bus station. Tickets purchased on-site are payable in USD, while tickets purchased online are charged in $USD.

There’s another national bus line called ASTRO which caters mostly to Cubans who pay in “Peso Nacional” (CUP), foreigners pay in USD.
