Portugal Money and Currency Details, Portugal Travel Guide and Tourist Information
Portugal's currency is the Euro. The country has been using Euro's since January 2002, but some of the locals still think in escudos. The exchange rate of escudos made the changeover less painful in terms of price increases when the law was enacted.
Banks are free to set their own commissions and rates so the exchange rate can vary. US dollars and British pounds are accepted, but the exchange rates can be all over the place. Exchange your currency into Euros after you do a little research instead of using foreign money at hotels and restaurants.
