Currency Exchange?

What is the better rate for exchanging currency? banks or exchange centers. I went to the bank to buy Euros but the rate they were charging seemed too high

Buy your currency at banks once you get to the country you are visiting. Not in your home country--for the best deal. I always buy a small amount at the airport when I land to hold me over til I get to a bank. You know: enough for transportation to the hotel, food, etc. until you find the bank and it is open.

Also, a tidbit---most credit cards (in the US) are now charging a conversion fee (mine is 3%) for every foreign transaction you use your credit card.

It depends on which exchange center you go to. At the airport, it is even higher.|||The banks are better, but when I was in Spain, they were only open until 2pm (which really sucked).|||Always go to a reputable bank.

Exchange centers will charge a lot more since this is their only business.
