Due to the varying strength of the pound and the euro
(€), the exchange rate currently varies between 1.2 and 1.3€ to
the pound. Go to x-rates for
an up-to-date exchange rate. |

Prices are similar to the UK, with a glass of wine normally around 2.5 €, and a good meal out about 15 €. |

There are plenty of money exchange places, both at the
airport and in the centre of town. One easy option is to use the ATM bank
machines with your bank card or credit card. The exchange rate is competitive,
and a fixed charge is normally applied. Because of this fixed charge, its
worth getting your weekends worth of currency in one withdrawal, rather
than being charged several times for several smaller withdrawals. |
