Tip: To avoid high currency-exchange fees, get your money from an ATM (but see our ATM articles above before you leave home). Money-exchange counters often charge exorbitant fees for cash: Not long ago, a Travelex office in Venice was charging an 8.5% commission on U.S. dollars, plus a €3,50 handling fee.
