Withdrawing cash from ATMs often provides favorable exchange rates. ATMs are commonly found at airports, city centers, and near banks. Using ATMs at the airport upon arrival can be convenient.
Bank Notifications
Inform your bank and credit card companies of your travel plans to prevent any security holds on your accounts.
