Contact your bank to find out which branches offer a currency exchange. Make sure to ask how much the bank charges for this transaction.
Exchange your money at the bank. First, present your bank card to the teller to show you are a customer of the bank. Then, give the teller the cash you wish to exchange into euros.
Exchange your money at the airport. If you don't have time to go to the bank, exchange your money at the airport before your flight departs. Be careful, though; airport exchanges are notorious for having bad exchange rates. Only use these exchanges if you don't have any other options.
Visit a conversion center or the currency exchange desk at your hotel. Conversion centers can be located throughout major cities, usually in high-tourism areas. Some hotels will offer currency exchanges for their guests.
Show your passport to the currency exchange teller. Present a valid passport to exchange your dollars into euros.
Give the teller the cash you want to exchange. If you exchange more than $100, keep some in your wallet and leave the rest in a safe place in your hotel room.
Use an ATM. If you cannot find a conversion center or hotel currency exchange, locate an ATM to obtain euros. First, slip your debit or credit card into the slot provided. Second, enter your PIN number. Third, type the amount you wish to withdraw. Keep in mind: ATMs offer good exchange rates but typically charge withdrawal fees.
