We are flying to italy for Xmas...
Do we get a better deal here(UK)or in Italy to change the money.
Thank you.

Hmmmm. I forgot to have a look when I stayed in italy a few months ago but the starting point will be http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/

Martins Travel Money Maximiser.

Usually Travelex online reserve - pickup at airport is cheapest for cash.

If you have a Nationwide Flexaccount you can get cash out fees free at the Visa exchange rate (usually best you can get) or if you have a Nationwide CC or Post Office CC you can use these in shops fees free and again get the Visa rate.

The places in Italy i would guess would be more expensive than travelex.

If you use them, don't forget to get the cash in UK£ out of a cashpoint to pay them with it physically. If you hand them your debit card they will add cash handling fees writing off the benefit.
