The mighty dollar vs euro and ATM tip

It's almost $1 to 1 euro exchange rate right now, like $1.01 to 1 euro. This made traveling very cost effective for us in Portugal.

Also interesting to find out that there are different atms. Most charge a commission and higher exchange fees. Only the multi Banco ATMs with the symbol MB will give us wholesale good exchange rate. The trick is we must decline the offered exchange rate at the atm twice and then we get the best exchange rate. Super odd but good to know.

Clifton our friend from wharton told us about this as they moved to Portugal last December 2021.

Happy traveling.
