Planning a trip to Europe ? The first step is to plan the most you can beforehand. This stands for any country in Europe that you are going to visit. Begin by establishing a daily and an overall budget for each country as prices differ from one country to another. Europe is very advanced and therefore, you will be able to use your credit and debit cards for most of your purchases. However, it is advisable to have some cash during your stay. Determining a budget will help you know how many pounds you should exchange into euros. We recommend you buy your travel money before your departure to benefit from better exchange rates.
