Going Brussels

I know there are millions of threads and discussions about this but I just wanted a quick answer. I am going to Brussels on Friday evening and I wanted to know what is the best way to get Euros (I think that’s what they use)

I only want to change about £50 but I do want the best rate

Cheers

    The sum is really too small to waste time shopping around for best rates, IMHO.

    If you have a credit card/debit card from Visa, Mastercard etc., just use it in a hole in the wall machine when you get to Brussels.
    Most ATMs automatically show you menus in the correct language nowadays.

    You will be charged at least 1.5% for the transaction. But you will get a reasonable exchange rate. I don't think there is a cheaper way to change such a small sum.
