Any advice is appreciated, thank you 😊

    Debit cards work just fine all over Europe.

    Try to avoid withdrawing small amounts due to the charges being applied to each transaction by your bank.

    I am going to Croatia tomorrow and ordered some currency through ICE at the airport (poor exchange rate) but only because I land at 23:00 and need some money to get me going.

    In Poland you can exchange Euros for Zloty in "kantor" - most of them offer very good rate unlike banks and there are plenty of them in cities.
