Are you going to travel to the 2018 World Cup in Russia?

If you are going to travel to the World Cup in Russia you will already know that there they do not use the Euro, the official currency of Russia is the Russian Ruble. Do not worry that we at Eurochange make it very easy for you.

 

Pay with card in Russia

In most tourist places you can pay by card. In the trade they will charge an amount in Rubles and your bank will put an exchange rate to make the payment in Euros. Keep in mind that it is possible that the exchange rate put by your bank may be a bit high and then you end up paying more than you thought.

You can also withdraw Rubles from ATMs, but you can also pay higher prices or commissions that make your stay more expensive.

 

Pay in cash in Russia

From Eurochange we always recommend taking at least part of the money already exchanged.

Why? First of all because when you arrive at the destination you will have to pay for things that have to be in cash (a taxi, train, bus, …). It is always better to carry some money prepared than having to change at the exchange offices of airports where they charge very high prices.

Secondly, because in addition to these expenses, there will be others that you have to pay in cash: in some restaurants, shops or tourist attractions.

Finally, as we have already said, even if you can pay with a card you will know what amount in Rubles will charge you, but you will not know what amount your bank will charge you for that operation. However, if you have the rubles already purchased, you will always know how much you have paid for them and it will be easier to calculate what you pay during the holidays.

Of course, always carry your card, you never know when you may have an unforeseen or an expense that you did not count on. In those cases, it is best to have a plan B just in case.

 

Change from Euros to Rubles

If you need to change Euros to Russian Rubles in Eurochange we make it very easy for you. Enter our website and ask for the Rubles you need. Make the payment and we will send them to you in 24-48 hours.

Enjoy the show!
