Paying

• Most of Europe uses the Euro
• 1€ = $1.41 (1/27/2010)
• Traveler's checks (caveats)
  • Not as good of an exchange rate
  • Fee involved when purchasing and exchanging
  • Don't carry your receipts with you; rather, keep 'em with the copy of your passport in your room
• Credit cards/debit cards widely accepted and offer the best exchange rate often w/o a fee
• Don't count/display money in public
• Carry small amount of money in pocket for street-item purchases and the rest in your wallet
• Don't take all of your money with you (use a room safe, etc.)
