CurrencyFlow rates are for budgeting and comparison, not guaranteed bank, card or exchange-counter quotes.
Cards are widely used, though carrying some cash can help with small purchases and tips.
Credit, debit and contactless payments are common.
Contactless and mobile-wallet acceptance depends on the merchant, network and device.
ATMs are widely available; network and operator fees vary.
If an ATM or terminal offers conversion into your home currency, compare the disclosed rate and fees with paying in the local currency before accepting.
Tipping is customary in many restaurant, taxi and personal-service settings.
Before travel, notify the card issuer when necessary, check foreign-transaction and ATM fees, and keep a backup payment method.
Airport exchange counters can be convenient but may use wider spreads or additional charges.
