Currency exchange in Rome: where to change money in the Italian capital

Rome is one of the most visited cities in the world. The capital of Italy is home to several institutional seats, an important cultural centre and the heart of the world’s Catholic religion. Its streets, rich in history and beauty, enchant millions of tourists every year. A trip to Rome is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the Italian ‘dolce vita‘.
However, when going on a trip, it is important to organise every detail carefully if you want to avoid bad surprises. In this regard, it is very important to keep one’s finances under control and to manage them carefully even while travelling. In particular, when changing money you should always pay attention to exchange rates. Are you coming from abroad and heading for Rome? Do you live in Rome, but are preparing for a trip abroad? Let’s delve deeper into the topic of changing money in Rome, and see where to change money in the Capital safely and with convenient exchange rates.

The currency in Rome: The Euro

In 2002, Italy adopted the euro (€) as its currency. From 1861 until 2002, Italy’s official currency was the Italian lira (₤), which definitively ceased to be legal tender with the introduction of the euro. Currently, the only currency accepted for payments in Italy is the euro. Therefore, consider that if you are travelling to Italy, you will have to obtain euros to make purchases. Remember that this currency will be accepted in all Eurozone countries. The euro is currently the currency of 20 EU member states and is used daily by around 350 million people living in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain.

Is it possible to pay with an international credit card in Rome?

All major businesses in Rome offer the possibility of paying with an international credit card. However, in many contexts possessing cash proves to be of great help, especially for making small expenses, or in case of unforeseen events. Let us therefore see where to change foreign currency into euros in Rome.

How to change foreign currency into euros?

Before going on a trip, it is good to define the management of your finances. Allocate a precise budget for your trip, putting down exactly how much money to take with you in cash. In this regard, it is advisable to book the currency exchange before departure, so that you arrive in Italy, or leave the country, with a few euros in cash already at your disposal. In addition, changing currency days in advance allows you to benefit from cheaper exchange rates.
Exchange rates fluctuate constantly, so it is good to find out about their variations and the fees charged by money exchangers. It is important to compare the real exchange rate with that proposed by agencies. For a secure service and a transparent exchange rate in Rome, find out where to find Forexchange branches.
