How much money should I take to Madrid, Spain?

Question

I have plans to spend eight days in Madrid in late December early January in the downtown area. How much should I take?

Answer 1

it depends on how much you plan to see and how much u plan to eat. If you want to go on the cheap side.. I would say about 80 to 100 a day.. if you want to go on the moderate side about 125 to 150 expensive about 200 a day

Answer 2

Budget about 100-200 per day. Don't take cash or traveler's checks. You will get the best exchange rates at an ATM (you get the bulk commercial exchange rate that way).

Have fun!

Answer 3

it depends what your going to be doing!!....................have you booked somewhere to stay?or will you need money for that?>.....

One thing i will tell you is that if you going begining of january, the spanish celebrate their (day of giving presents,like our xmas) on the 6th of jan......they always have massive outrages parties on the night of the fifth, where 3 blokes dressed up as kings take to the streets on big carts pulled by either horses or bulls (sometimes lorries) and they like give you present and sweets and stuff.......its pretty cool!

i dont think ive been much help really .................sorry

Answer 4

The actual ammount varies depending on what you want to do.  Prices are generally cheaper for things there, but with the exchange rate, it just about equals out.

I HIGHLY suggest not taking cash.  Best thing to do is use your atm card and take out money from the banks or use travelers checks.  Either way avoids walking around with a money roll and risking getting it pinched.  Petty crime can be a problem in some areas.

Answer 5

Take as much as you can or a Visa Credit card and have the money to cover charges when you return. Most cards like Visa and Master-card will handle currency conversions free. Just charge and go. I would rather have too much money than not enough.

Answer 6

Enough for $200 a day expenditure keeping in mind the the dollar is worth less than the Euro.
