Where can I exchange currency at my travel destination?

For currency exchange at your travel destination, you have several options:

Before the trip:

  • At your home bank (often with pre-order)
  • At exchange offices in larger cities
  • Online currency services with delivery

At the airport:

  • Exchange offices are convenient but often have less favorable rates
  • Only small amounts for immediate expenses recommended

At the destination:

  • Local banks (usually best rates)
  • Official exchange offices in tourist areas
  • Hotels (convenient but often less favorable rates)

Alternatively:

  • ATMs for direct withdrawal of local currency
  • Credit cards for larger expenses (inform your bank before the trip)

Tips:

  • Compare exchange rates and fees
  • Avoid unofficial exchange options
  • Learn about common scams

You can find specific information about currency and payment options at your destination in your travel documents or through our app chatbot.
