Why is the Euro so strong?

The Euro is a traded currency that benefits from the economic stability of the Eurozone and is widely accepted across most countries in Europe. Its strength is influenced by economic trends, interest rates, and its role as the second most traded currency in the world. For travellers, this means your Australian dollars can go further when you buy Euros online, exchange AUD, or use a travel money card.

Is it better to buy Euros in Australia or Europe?

For most travellers, buying Euros online in Australia or in-store before departure is cost-effective. You can lock in exchange rates, avoid hidden fees, and have foreign cash ready for your European adventure. While some foreign exchange services in Europe may offer competitive rates, having Euros (EUR) before you arrive ensures you can pay for transport, attractions, and accommodations without stress.
