What currency should i take to cape verde

Make sure you do not have too many escudos left when leaving. Tipping at restaurants is common. Especially on the islands with fewer tourists. Make sure you have activated at your bank the option for worldwide drawing.

Not only were the Cape Verdean banks applying a charge, but both my UK banks too were making a transaction charge together with their currency rate. As some establishments still equate 1 Euro as CVE, you will not be at any loss. If you are British or use Sterling as a currency, then it may also be more appropriate to bring Euro with you rather than withdraw Escudo.

We aren't AI. Euros are widely accepted everywhere. All the bars and restaurants generally give you the bill in Euros and CVD's and are happy to take both. Really easy to convert at the moment as well. Hope that helps. Frankly, it's a rip off to not give the proper rate. Businesses are skimming. Using CVE is better. Thanks for that Rashyroo.
