Advice Always Ask to Be Charged in Euros in Italy

[MapHacker]

I've been traveling through Italy and one thing I've learned is to always ask merchants to charge me in euros instead of my home currency. I almost got hit with a poor exchange rate the other day! It's so easy to forget, especially when you're in a rush. Have others had similar experiences? Any tips on avoiding extra fees or getting the best rates while traveling in Europe would be great to hear!

That's a great tip! Asking to be charged in euros can definitely save you from sneaky conversion fees. I've also found that using a travel credit card with no foreign transaction fees is a game changer. Additionally, always keep an eye on the daily exchange rates before you travel. It helps in negotiating or knowing what a fair price should be. Have you considered using any specific apps to track your spending while abroad?
