Travelling in Europe: is the euro enough?
Not every European country uses the euro. Here is what to carry, depending on where you are going.
It is a common assumption that euros will cover a European trip. In practice, a number of countries still use their own currency.
Countries outside the euro
- United Kingdom — pound sterling (GBP)
- Switzerland — Swiss franc (CHF)
- Czech Republic — Czech koruna (CZK)
- Hungary — forint (HUF)
- Poland — złoty (PLN)
- Norway, Sweden and Denmark — their respective krone / krona
For a multi-country trip, take euros as your base and add local currency only where you need it. Ask at a branch whether we stock the one you are after.
