European Christmas Markets: Why You Still Need Euros

The festive markets of cities across the eurozone are a December highlight, and most of the stalls run on cash. A commission-free provider such as Travel FX lets you buy euros online at a clear rate, ready for the mulled wine and handmade gifts.

Stalls love cash

Small traders selling crafts, food and drink often take notes and coins only, particularly at busy markets. A modest cash float means you will not miss out while queuing for a cash machine in the cold.

One currency, many markets

The euro is legal tender in 21 countries, so a single order covers markets from Vienna to Cologne to Strasbourg on the same trip.

A reliable provider

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 delivery or collection ahead of the festive season.

Sort your euros before you go and enjoy the markets without the cash-machine hunt.
