Hi all, we are coming to albufeira for the first time at the end of march, really looking forward to it, but could someonejust answer this question.
Is money exchange freely available in the resort and if so how do rates compare to rates obtained in uk.
cheers
tania & steve
Hi hope you are both well:-) Yes Money exchange is freely available in the resort you don't have to worry about that the rates are more or less the same practised in the UK sometimes you can find a better deal in Albufeira.Enjoy it:-)
Don't forget that almost all restaurants and most shops will accept credit/debit cards, so there is no more need than in UK to carry around large amounts of cash.
thanks for that much appreciated
As Cubsur has said ATMs are plentiful in Albufeira, so if you are thinking about using them why not open a Nationwide account.
They dont charge for withdrawals abroad and you get a much better rate.
I'm not sure how long it will take for the card to get to you, but it might be worth trying and then transfer your holiday money into it.
That's what i did when i went last year.

It only takes about 1wk - 10 days to get your card and everything you need and is definitely worth it........as you say, better rate and no charge!!!!!
