Dear travelers,
Money is a delicate subject. The best way to use
your money during your upcoming trip is to have a debit card; this allows you
to withdraw money from any ATM machine with only being charged a small
withdrawal fee. The fee differs between banks. Be sure to call your bank before
your departure to tell them where you are going and for how long so they won't
freeze your account. The debit cards given by the bank has the compatibility of
Visa, MasterCard, however, Visa is the most widely accepted worldwide. If you
bring cash, you can exchange it but you will lose more money as they charge for
their services. Most places in Europe won't accept traveler's checks anymore.
Also, be prepared to pay for water and a little fee for restroom use. Last not
least, there are no free refills on soft drinks in Europe which is why most
Europeans ask for little to no ice in their drinks.
We suggest you have some spending money available and our recommendation is around 20 Dollar per day for the meals not included, snacks, drinks, postcards, some souvenirs. It is not imperative that you have this amount of money. There are many ways to lower your expenses such as:
· Most restaurants have menus outside so you can check their price range.
· Venture off the main roads to find a restaurant. These usually have more character, better food, and better prices.
· Bring your own water bottle. Most places have safe tap water to fill up with.
· Buy food from the "convenient" stores. You don't have to sit down in the restaurant for every meal.
· Shop around for souvenirs; many stores have the same things on sale for very different prices.
Last not least, remember that your Incantato Tour Manager is with you pretty much 24/7. The guide is there to help you make the right choices.
