Hi. I am going on the Eastern Road trip soon and was wondering about what kind of currency to bring. While Germany and Austria use Euros, not sure if the other countries (Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland) accept Euros, or just local currency? Should I purchase before leaving home or exchange while in Europe? Thanks.

    Just went on Eastern Road this past summer. Slovakia has the Euro as well, the other three countries have their own currencies. Before I left I got some Euros, and then just used my bank card to withdraw in individual countries.

    Poland uses the Zlotych…you get about 28 Zlotych for $10 Australian.

    In Hungary it’s the Forint – about 2000 for $10 and in the Czech Republic you’ll get about 174 Koruny for your $10.

    You can get local currency as you go, from local ATMS.

    The rest are all Euros.
