How to Change Your $$ into Euro in Germany

You may have already changed dollars for Euros before you get to Munich (I don't know your itinerary). If not, or if you need more Euro, you could change money at the airport Money Exchange, but this is the most expensive - worst exchange rate. Probably the best way to get Euro cash in Germany is to use your ATM card or MasterCard/Visa at a “Geldautomat” (ATM). This will give you the best exchange rate, and won’t charge you any extra fees (although your bank may tack on fees). Be aware that the Geldautomat machine will not give you a receipt, so you’ll just have to jot down how much you withdrew, if you’re keeping track. To find a Geldautomat, look for the following signs - Bank, Sparkasse, Geldautomat, or a small sign with EC in big letters (don’t look for “ATM”, unless maybe in a big tourist area). You may even find a convenient Geldautomat in the airport, at a bank kiosk or even by itself. Most Geldautomat machines (in fact, most automated machines of all types) in Germany allow you to choose what language is displayed - for English, choose the British flag.
