Euros to Quetzals? cheapest way?

Options

Hello there,  please could you help me,  I need some very brief advice.   In June I’ll be going to Guatemala where the local currency is called the Quetzal,    I am a Brit living in Austria.    My main bank account is in Euros.      My question is,   what is the best way to pay for things when I am in Guatemala?    I know there are different products out there,   what would you recommend for me going from Euros to Quetzals?  Please could you advise a product for me for this expedition? 

I really appreciate your help,   and look forward to hearing back from you 

kind regards Richard Milner

    Your bank debit card will convert your euros to any local currency when used for payment and ATM withdrawal, you need to check with your bank for any fees and exchange rate markups.

    By 'different products out there', do you mean Revolut, Wise, N26, etc..?
