also pay for anything u can with a credit card - the exch rate will be set at the day of posting of the charge. both these methods are way cheaper than a cash transaction at a money exchanger who charges commissions/fees etc. ciao!

Agree w/84300DT. If you will be there for long or will spend a lot on credit cards its good to check with your credit card company. Some of them like to add 1,2 or even 3% to the 1% fee Mastercard or Visa charge to convert. Some cards are much better than others in this regard. I just got back from central Europe and the bloodletting wasn't quite as bad as I thought.

I'll sacrific some to the money changers at the airport for cab fare and maybe a drink or two at the airport bar. There's a Looong 5 hr. stopover. in Rome. Many thanks!

Make sure your ATM card will work in a foreign country, my aunt learned it the hard way...
