The euro is used in 19 of the 27 EU member states and there are plans for it to be used in even more in the future. But that doesn’t mean euros have the same buying power in each state. Things might cost less or more depending on where you’re travelling to.

In the same way, regions within countries can vary too, with bigger cities usually having higher costs for most items than more rural areas. But there are some countries and areas that are often cheaper than others.

If you buy euros it can be useful to have some information to help you understand how far your money will go.
