    You can buy currency at any Post Office or at the many Bureau de Change, or at any bank. The rate won't be much different here or there but it may be useful to have some Euro cash available to you when you arrive for taxi, train, snack or whatever.

    I find you're much better changing your money here. Chase were charging me 10cent per dollar!

    10% on top of differential. When was that? Was it for a large sum?

    Bring a credit/debit card, you might find the rates better than exchanging a large amount of money.
