More about Shopping and Money, from Europe for Visitors:

Tax-Free Shopping
Spend enough money in a European shop, and you may be entitled to a refund of Value-Added Tax (VAT).

ATMs and Exchange Machines
Here's how to get cash in Europe without having to ask "Uh....do you buy dollars?" in the local lingo.

ATM "Conversion Fees" 
If you thought ATM withdrawals were a way to avoid high currency-exchange commissions, think again--and be prepared to find a new bank.

Credit-Card Surcharges
Before using Visa, MasterCard, or American Express to avoid high exchange commissions, make sure your credt-card company isn't charging a hidden 2% to 5% fee.
