If you’re going abroad on a trip, making sure you’ve got some local currency in cash is an essential part of your trip preparation. Yes, credit and debit cards are accepted pretty much everywhere, but it’s always useful to have some cash wherever you’re going.
Whatever you do, don’t leave your currency purchase until you get to the airport. There are several travel money exchange opportunities in every airport departure hall and although they’ll do in an emergency, the exchange rate on offer is always considerably less than that you will receive anywhere else. Foreign currency is widely available on the high street these days, with many retailers providing an in-store bureau de change. And of course, travel agents, banks, and many post offices carry foreign currency too.
