Money & costs

Money

Omnipresent banks (many with ATMs) give the best exchange rates, and many will change US-dollar traveler’s checks and euro banknotes. Casas de cambio pay a slightly lower rate, but are open longer hours and are less busy than banks; shop around, as rates vary. Banks and casas de cambio cluster around the zócalo and line La Costera. Hotels will also change money, but their rates are usually extortionate.
