Money Matters
|
| The currency in Slovakia is the Slovakian crown. Check current exchange rates before traveling. Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, and they are widely accepted throughout the country. Changing travelers checks can be an adventure, so its best to carry a variety of payment options.
Currency exchange agents are located in the major cities and tourist areas (American Express, Thomas Cook). ATM machines are located at all major banks, but are predominantly found in larger cities and towns.
Be careful not to carry too much cash and keep your money in a safe place at all times.
Before you go, it's a good idea to write down the customer service phone numbers and actual card numbers of your credit cards, passport, other ID, and bank cards - in case of loss or theft this will come in handy.
