Should I get a visa prepaid card for a few hundred dollars considering I am only bringing one credit card? You made a good point, if your credit card 💳 gets stolen, what can you do?
Comment from : Janet F

Knowing this, I will be the eyes for Asian travellers who I think may be at risk I will warn them who might be watching and give tips In my continent there are too many anti asian crimes (even one crime, is too many) I have a good sense for who the biggest elephants in the room might be and how to address them without being made

When I visited Prague the summer before last, everywhere that accepted euros was adding a good 50 to the price
Comment from : Jack Aylward-Williams

Came across to your channel I went to Luxembourg and use cash on purpose because I wanted to collect the coins with Luxembourg design Speaking of credit cards: Hong Kong credit cards do not usually request for PIN but I make sure it works by confirming at ATM while still in HK, and use the same PIN if it is asked let’s say at the pumps
Comment from : Chao Lee

A good tip is to make sure the money is current if you are returning as some Notes are changed and some countries do not take the old ones For example the Czech koruna for the 20 and 50 are now coins not notes anymore, but most places will take the notes if you have them for the 50 Kč
Comment from : Jason Temme

@2:40, traditional banks will charge very high fees plus give you a rubbish exchange rate Better off using Revolut, Currensea, Transferwise, Curve, Monzo, Starling or whatever the US equivalent is With these card you generally get the Intrabank rate or Mastercard rate

Comment from : Tobey Transport

Thank you this is helpful to know also but I was looking for more specific video on Italy and learning if they have any differences in how they are versus other places I know you’ve done a lot of great videos so I’m just wondering if that be something you could share like really attitudes and really differences of places that you’ve gone if you’re up versus Germany they are very organized they have great infrastructure they have ATMs all over but I wondered how difficult to be in Italy 🇮🇹

Comment from : Abigail

We were robbed in Praga, tourists must be very attentive because the city is really a great target
Comment from : Rejane Roe

Me and my family took cash to Germany, left it in the hotel’s safe and we were stolen! Cash and passports The hotel claims that if you don’t have actual proof (like a video of someone stealing it), it’s your problem! We are not going back to Germany and I shall avoid countries that require cash from now on!

I paid with a €200 banknote, for €12 worth of stuff, at a Chinese store in Spain The cashier looked at me without much sympathy but had change for it It was a nice way to get smaller bills Also, you're missing Romanian and Hungarian money, I see
Comment from : Emilian Stefan

A few years ago we pickup some English pound bills from our local bank in Canada When we landed in London we were informed that they were Old Bills and were not in valid We had to find a branch of our bank in London and get them to exchange the bills for the New Bills I have found that the UK changes there bills (and coins) every few years So new we check the Bank of England website to see what is valid and which ones we have to take to the bank once we land :)
Comment from : Max Sanches

I’m from Europe and I never ever use cash
Comment from : Hallo

In Europe, they won’t accept your national currency for exchange if it is torn or the bank tellers back home have scribbled on it! This oversight can seriously effect your budget
Comment from : Paul Leigh

ATM destroyed a lot of historical buildings in Prague :/
Comment from : Zdeněk Petřek

Forget about small banknotes in Switzerland We accept even notes of 200 if you buy a beer But never, really never pay with Euro We hate Euro and give you a really bad exchange rate
Comment from : Re Origra

And I still don't know the difference between debit and credit card
Comment from : Marcin Kralka

Just do as you do in the US, use a card
Comment from : City Life in America

Wait, you guys don’t always have a PIN for each of your cards?
Comment from : Sangay

Cash is pretty much dead in the Netherlands Many places don't even accept it anymore Credit card, or even better your debit card is king I believe there's a huge north/south difference in Europe these days
Comment from : Timmie1995

Who better than an American can teach you about european currency? That makes sense
Comment from : TrLacr

ATTENTION------- do not use EURONET or AURO DOMUS ATM-s i Croatia You will loose up to 30 percent of your money They ARE NOT bank owned cash machines and Euronet is actually American company robbing people around the world Use domestic banks ATM-S, choose charging in domestic currency- that will cost you 15 euros fee in 100 euros That is OK
Comment from : Dado

Never ever pay with cash all my payments are card or wireless
Comment from : Niels de Leeuw

The problem with having small amounts of cash in multiple spots,brYou can forget that they are there when it's time to come homebrI was in England for a month in 2017 & had a number of 10 pound notes stashed in various placesbrWhen I got home over the next month, I found 60 pounds in different places (that's not including the 300 in my first aid kit, that I thought the staff from my last hotel had stolen Sorry about that slander folks)
Comment from : EarlJohn61

NOTCH? Is that youbrAwww dissapointed
Comment from : Jolly Ol Stan

Get a currency card
Comment from : john turner

Not sponsored or anything, but I live in Denmark and receive money from the US very often and the best American bank for travelling is Charles Schwab Bank's so-called "high-yield investor checking account" It has no minimum balance, no fees, no nothing and they have no foreign exchange fees and they reimburse any ATM fees at the end of every month The fees may not seem like that much, but they can really stack up over the course of a tripbrbrbrHow they make their money is that they just hope that you'll invest with them because you have an awesome bank account from them, but you're under no obligation to use the brokerage account at all
Comment from : Dan Justice

Why am I watching this I AM european
Comment from : Ecco Eco

Why use cash if you can use contactless tho, I’m from the netherlands and most (western) european countries use a contactless debitcard ( phones also work with apple pay or equivalent!) even with small purchases
Comment from : Fruit

Cash is not "the go to" in Norway You'll be able to pay with card anywhere you go Also many services, like busses and trains don't accept cash anymore
Comment from : Per Sverre Remen Singstad

Coins in euro are worth something but not all coins in Europe depends on the currency

Comment from : Johan Fagerström Jarlenfors

Cash is not necessary or preferred in Scandinavia I live in Norway and hardly ever carry cash, and for my last trip to both Sweden and Denmark I only paid by card
Comment from : Birgit Bjørnsgard Bergsangard

Beware of Euronet or Celtic sea ATM’s

Comment from : theGamingJanina

In Northern Europe (except Germany), expect a preference for cards, especially The Netherlands and Scandinavia
Comment from : memyselfandY21

Can't believe you forgot to mention that tipping isn't a thing here
Comment from : Maxime K-G

Forget cash in the Nordics - Card is king here nowdays A lot of restaurants and cafés don't accept cash anymore VISA/Mastercard (AmEx in some places) or mobile payment is the norm
Comment from : Oskar Strandman

Sweden (especially Stockholm!) is all about not accepting cash, whatsoever Kind of the opposite of a lot of Germany A few years ago there were these posters in a lot of stores etc saying that cash won't be accepted after a certain date
Comment from : SHROOMY

Like,because you put croatian kuna on thumbnail
Comment from : Ivan Šalinović

Where do you see 'z' in 'Montenegro'?
Comment from : one

1 Don't use Euronet, as some comments have pointed outbr2 If you go to Sweden, don't bother getting any cash, many shops don't accept cash anymore (bank fees, risk of robbery etc) and you might end up with a pile of Swedish crowns that keeps sinking in value every day (at least for now)
Comment from : Raphael Mak Studio

Screw Sweden
Comment from : Joe A

Hi Wolter, it's EURO not EUROS, it is both singular and plural I don't know if this is mentioned in an earlier comment, I couldn't be arsed to scroll through the previous 354 of them
Comment from : Tony S

My advise is to always bring both a debit card and a credit card I have been in situations where only my debit card worked
Comment from : Mathias Hagensen

When will the UK adopt the Euro
Comment from : XANTIA

For the three euros thing, the false one is the one in the middle, since the one on the left has the Italian back and the one on the right has the German one
Comment from : Luca Di Cicco

I am not sure if this is a Sweden thing or if it happends in other countries as wellbrbrIn Sweden, don't trust the atm It happends ocationally fake atms are put ontop of the real true atms Everything looks normal and everything in your transaction seemes normal The fake atm will steal your pincode and make a copy of your numbers on your cardbrbrBefore you do any transaction on an atm in Sweden, check your atm if it have any seemingly loose parts by giving the parts a rough touch If any part loosens the atm might be fake If the part don't loosens, the atm is most likley real Also check for clear "invinsible" tape and possible tiny cameras in weird places on the atm If you find the atm might be fake, call the police directly
Comment from : swededude1992

If you travel a lot to Europe consider open an european account like N26 or Leopay, they are free and you can transfer money using Transfewise that charges the lowest fees I did it when I moved from Brazil to Portugal
Comment from : Daniel Guardabassio

Just a few comments:br1 Cash is not always king! In Sweden, it is becoming more and more common that stores don't accept cash at all! On the other hand, you can use a card almost anywhere: Buying a newspaper, some strawberries in the market square, an ice cream at the beach - you name it, they will most probably all accept cards!br2 If possible, avoid the ATM:s at the airport or obvoius tourist spots You get a better exchange rate at the ATM the locals use
Comment from : Christopher X

Montenegro has a fantastic train ride from the Port city of Bar up to a town on the Serbian Birder I can't remember how to spell its name but it sure is pretty It was on a YouTube video
