Europe FAQs

What currency is used in Europe?

The euro (€) is widely used across Europe, particularly in the Eurozone, which includes 20 of the 27 European Union member states. However, many countries, such as the UK (British pound), Switzerland (Swiss franc), and those in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, use their own currencies. Having cash in these currencies is essential, especially for small purchases, transportation, and local markets.

When is the best time to buy currency for Europe?

It’s best to buy your Euros or other European currencies well in advance of your trip to secure a favourable exchange rate. Purchasing larger amounts of currency ahead of time ensures you avoid high fees and poor rates often found at airports and tourist spots, leaving you with more to spend on your travels.

Why should I carry cash when travelling in Europe?

Cash is vital in Europe, especially for local transport, tipping, dining in small cafes, and shopping in markets. Many businesses, particularly in rural areas, don’t accept cards, so having a larger amount of local currency will help you avoid unnecessary hassles and fees.
