I am weighing the options for:
- Getting a SBI Vishwa yatra card or any such card
- Exchanging for Euros in India, take them there and deposit in a student’s bank account
- Taking traveller’s cheques and then deposit them in a European bank as and when required.

Please suggest what could be a better option. Or If any other better alternative would also be great.

Thanks!

I’m going to Europe next month and I know the exchange rate is terrible but I wanted to know what method of conversion gives me the most Euro for the buck… traveler’s cheques? exchanging cash at a local exchange place? using my atm card everywhere I go? Taking money out of the ATMs there? From your experience, what has been the most convenient and cheapest method?
