During the summer I am away for a month around Eastern Europe. I am visiting Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia.

I am wondering the best way to carry/use currency?

Thanks :money:

Personally I find the beat way to carry money, and this applies to anywhere in the world, is in my pocket, usually in a wallet.

And using it, I tend to find waving it in the sellers/cabbies/hoteliers face and smiling the way forward.

enjoy your travels

OP - have you tried reading the overseas spending, cheap foreign currency and travel money maximiser articles in the Travel Resource Bar up there ^^^. There is also a pinned Euro currency thread.

another quick point according to the UN Austria is in central europe and Bosnia and Croatia are in south eastern europe, see us bears are clever types.

Welcome to MSE

If you have a Nationwide Flexaccount, use it to withdraw euros from an ATM in Austria. If not, check out the Travel Money Maximiser and get the best rate before you leave. Full details in the Overseas Spending article

I do have a flex account with nationwide - Thanks
I looked at the travel maximer but I kinda need the money by mmmmm tomorrow morning...... Post office offering 1.22 but did wonder if I would get a better exchange rate in Germany.
