If you need cash get it from a bank ATM. Might have a small fee but my bank reimburses and you get the real-time exchange rate with no upcharge.
this. Get a good debit card for atm to get real time exchange rate with no fee.
otherwise, just use a credit card. Almost everyone takes them these days, and just select the local currency to be charged if they give you the option.
Like you said, it’s 2025 now, nobody should be changing money at an exchange or using a debit card anywhere besides an ATM.
