Foreign currency and traveller's cheques can be exchanged in banks, post offices and at bureaux de change in major cities, ports and airports. Banks tend to charge higher commissions.

All major international credit and debit cards are widely accepted, and there are ATMs that accept them even in small villages.

Traveller's cheques are also accepted in banks, some shops and in exchange offices, which charge less commission than the banks. Travellers are advised to take traveller's cheques in Euros, Pounds Sterling or US Dollars.
