Buying Euros for a City Break in Amsterdam

Amsterdam packs canals, museums and cafe culture into a short stay, so a weekend there benefits from a little planning. A commission-free provider such as Travel FX lets you buy euros online at a clear rate, ready before you fly.

How much cash to carry

The Netherlands is card-friendly, but cash is handy for markets, tips, smaller cafes and the odd kiosk. A modest amount plus a card covers a city break comfortably.

Avoid the airport premium

Exchange desks at Schiphol are easy to use but rarely the best value. Ordering your euros at home in advance leaves you with more to spend on the city.

A trusted choice

Travel FX has traded for more than 18 years, offers over 60 currencies and holds a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews, with online ordering and delivery or collection.

Sort a small amount of euros ahead and enjoy Amsterdam without the exchange-rate sting.
