Best Places to Exchange Money in Milan

Exchanging currency in Milan is pretty much the same as in Rome: Exchange rates are poorer than those in other European cities like Paris and London. And withdrawing euros at ATM machines (called Bancomat in Italian) is the most preferred option of travelers.

Note that most banks in Italy do not provide currency exchange service for non-account holders and also do not buy traveler’s cheques. You still can find some banks in Milan that deal in these, but their rates are low and service fees are charged.

If you need to exchange money at currency exchange offices, you can find them near Milan Cathedral and Milan Central Station. Just look for the signs with the word “Change” or “Exchange”.
