Consider the best place in the UK to buy currency. This will definitely NOT be at the airport on the way out.

You have a few choices with regards to how you convert your GB Pounds to Euros:-

You could change all your money before you go. This is currently the best option, but be aware that your holiday insurance will only usually cover cash to a certain value. Airports are the most expensive place to exchange, so sort out currency before you travel. Banks, Supermarkets are all fairly competitive, but check online well in advance, and make sure you consider any delivery fees when comparing rates.

We have had excellent service using John Lewis Travel Money

You can currently use Debit, Credit or Pre-paid cards to either pay for meals and goods directly, or to draw cash from the cash machines here (see above). Get this right and this is one of the cheapest ways. But make sure you know which cards to use, as getting it wrong and will also be the dearest way too!
