rossh Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Probably been covered somewhere within this section of Tamb so apologies if it has. Currency. What is the best way to guarantee the best exchange rate? Exchanging in Scotland before travelling or by pulling money out over in Prague?

When there in December, I found it fairly similar for the exchange rate, with it being slightly more there - mind and take Ingurlish notes though! Just watch they don't use a different rate to the one advertised - oh and you'll get pestered by people hanging around the exchange place, claiming they'll give you a better rate if you deal with them!

Langtonian Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 You,ll get a better exchange rate drawing from an ATM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works out best if you lift a fair bit out at once, which isn't always the best idea, in case you lose it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cramy Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I only have 500kr and 1000kr notes. Will they be fairly easy to use for normal things like transport and pubs? Was hoping for a few smaller denominations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
