Exchanging Money in Europe

Planning a European Vacation?

Let’s Talk Money!

Wondering if you should exchange money before you go? Here’s what you really need to know:

Top Tips for Exchanging Money in Europe:

• Skip airport kiosks – They usually have the worst exchange rates.
• Use local ATMs – Get better rates with your debit card (check for foreign transaction fees!).
• Let banks do the conversion – Always decline paying in USD when asked. Choose local currency (EUR) for better rates.
• Carry a bit of cash – Many cafes, markets, and taxis still prefer cash in Europe.
• Notify your bank – Let them know your travel dates to avoid having your card blocked.
