  2. Should I Buy Euros Now or Wait?

    Getting ready for a European trip can be stressful, but picking up your Euro travel money doesn’t have to be.

    Buying Euros before you travel means you'll have cash when you land. You won’t have to worry about finding an ATM, paying card fees or getting a bad rate. We always recommend arranging your Euros before you get to the airport, as you’ll likely get much more competitive exchange rates online or in one of our travel bureaux.

How much money do I need for Europe?

 

The amount of money you need for Europe depends on where you’re travelling to and how long you’re going for. If you’re sunning yourself in Europe for two weeks, you’ll likely need more currency than a short weekend break. Cities often have the highest prices, while more rural areas will tend to be cheaper. If you’re heading to top tourist areas you may also find plenty of available deals when it comes to food, drinks and activities.

Here are a few top tips to consider:

 

  • Lisbon was voted as the cheapest city break in Europe in 2023, thanks to its affordable food and drink scene, cheap transport and budget flights[1].
  • Amsterdam was rated as the most expensive city break in 2023[2].
  • If you want the Balearic sun but don’t want to fork out for more expensive Ibiza or Mallorca, head to the smaller island of Formentera. The local beer is less than a Euro[3].

Useful information about Euros

 

When paying with Euros, you’ll be handling currency in coins and notes. You’ll also come across the smaller denomination cents as coins too.

Where can I spend my Euros?

 

The Euro (€) was officially adopted on 16th December 1995 in Madrid, but physical coins and banknotes only entered circulation in 2002. Since then, many countries have opted to abandon their original currency in favour of the Euro. Today, it’s the official currency in 20 of the 27 member states:

  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Croatia
  • Cyprus
  • Estonia
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Ireland
  • Italy
  • Latvia
  • Lithuania
  • Luxembourg
  • Malta
  • The Netherlands
  • Portugal
  • Slovakia
  • Slovenia
  • Spain

 

Over 341 million people use it every day, making it the 2nd most widely used currency in the world.

Some non-EU countries also use or widely accept the Euro like Andorra, Monaco, Vatican City, and San Marino.

Many French-speaking African countries secure their currencies against the Euro, including Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Côte D’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo.

 

Why visit Europe?

 

Europe has everything. Whether you’re looking for a city break, some time on the beach, history or culture, you’ll find it all and more in Europe.

There’s the ancient buildings and history of spots like Rome, Athens, Florence and Venice. You’ll find quirky and colourful architecture in Amsterdam, Lisbon and Barcelona. There are the beaches of the Med, Greece’s islands and the sun-soaked Algarve. You can party on the beach in Ibiza and for days on end in Berlin. And don’t forget French food, Italy’s famous cuisine and Spain’s tapas.

Plus, with short flight times from the UK you can dip in and out of Europe for a weekend, week or fortnight without blowing your budget.
