Need some Euros


Recommended Posts

You can get them at Intercam on the Ajijic carretera between OXXO and the paint store.

For large amounts, like several thousand, they would like to know in advance but can do.

Talked to them in person about it last week; also going on trip. ATM advice is true tho.

For buying Euros, I used Actinver and Intercam in the past, and much to my surprise, I always got the best rate at Banco Azteca (also fastest service) here in Chapala.

Try to get as many 50 Euro notes as possible, as some businesses in Europe will not change 200 Euro notes and up.

Don't rely on the ATM alone, because what if your card does not work there or gets swallowed by the machine.... like with anything, spread your risks and don't bet on just one horse.

Changing dollars in Europe is becoming more and more difficult (at banks or other) and you often get a (very) bad rate. This was my last year's experience in the Netherlands and Belgium.

(be also prepared for the different electical plug type, but you might already know that)

Enjoy Europe !
