Money Conversion
We will be going on the July 26 tour of Warsaw, etc. Curious if we need to convert money, or if the Euro and CC are adequate. Thanks

It might be a good idea to have some local money other than the Euro with you. You can always visit one of the many currency exchange facilities at the airport, use an ATM, or exchange currency at any of the hotels on the itinerary.
In Austria, where the official currency is the Euro, major credit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are found at most tourist venues. In those countries which do not use or have not switched over to the Euro -- Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic -- credit cards are also widely accepted, and ATMs are also found at most tourist venues. Sometimes Euros are accepted in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, but it is always a good idea to have the local currency with you as well.
The official currency of each country is:
· Poland - Polish Zloty (PLN)
· Hungary - Hungarian Forint (HUF)
· Austria and the Slovak Republic - Euro (EUR)
· Czech Republic - Czech Koruna (CZK)
I hope this helps!
