Buy Mexican pesos (MXN) before travelling to Mexico
When planning your trip to Mexico, it is important to understand the local currency. In many cases you will be able to pay with your credit card, but in others you will need cash. In Mexico, the local currency is the Mexican peso (MXN). Before exchanging euros to MXN, take your time to check the exchange rate in order to find the best possible deal. We also recommend setting a budget so you are fully aware of your future spending, as well as the amount of money you may wish to purchase, i.e. the amount of euros you want to exchange into MXN. As a first step, consult the recommended daily budget, which could help you calculate total expenses.
Practical tips for planning your budget
