Buy Taiwanese dollars (TWD) before travelling to Taiwan
Are you preparing your trip to Taiwan, this beautiful country blessed with a lush natural environment? To ensure a smooth stay and truly enjoy your journey, we recommend that you gather as much information as possible about your destination.
One very important aspect is understanding the use of the local currency, the Taiwanese dollar. Taiwan is highly developed, and bank cards are widely accepted, but not in all situations.
You may need cash in Taiwanese dollars for some of your payments. Therefore, we suggest making your EUR to TWD conversion before you travel. This way, you can compare EUR/TWD exchange rates to get the best deal.
