Money Tips
- Convert money upon arrival; do not order foreign currency in advance.
- ATM’s used to give the best rate, so check your bank’s foreign transaction fees.
- To save money, try to limit how often you use ATMs. Using an ATM can result in multiple fees. Try to use ATMs at banks as much as possible. Avoid using ATMs at other locations because they might be risky due to scammers and thieves.
- Bring 2 major credit cards, small denomination US cash, and a calculator. American Express is not widely accepted overseas. Visa and MasterCard are accepted everywhere.
