Where can I exchange euros to Canadian dollars in Dublin?

Here are some of the most popular options for foreign exchange from euro to Canadian dollar​ in Dublin:

What you should know before exchanging money

Before you head out to convert your EUR to CAD, you’ll need to find the best place for your needs based on costs and convenience. Here are a few things to think about while you choose:

• Call ahead to check the branch you’re visiting has CAD in stock: CAD isn’t the most commonly requested currency, to double check the provider you’re using stocks it to avoid a wasted journey
• Compare airport exchange rates carefully: while there are several different exchange offices at Dublin airport, they’re all run by the same provider. This means there’s limited competition which may lead to higher costs for the customer
• Look at all the costs of conversion carefully: providers often claim they have ‘no fees’ or ‘0% commission’ but this may simply mean that the fees you pay are included in the exchange rate used to convert your EUR to CAD
• Look for the mid-market rate: use a currency converter to keep an eye on the live mid-market rate before you convert, and try to find a provider which has this rate, or as close as possible to it
• Be careful with your cash: tourists who are unfamiliar with their surroundings make attractive targets for thieves. Don’t carry more cash than you need to, and make use of hotel safe boxes where possible
• Use a multi-currency account and card instead: open a Wise account to convert your euros to Canadian dollars in an app, and then spend with your card as you go.
