Don’t forget to buy Brazilian Reals before you leave for Brazil
Planning a trip to Brazil? It will surely be full of adventures ! Brazil will welcome you with its colourful streets, festivals and unique cuisine and the big cities will offer you great and memorable shows. However, before you travel to a foreign country we advise you to be familiar with the use of the local currency. The official currency is the Brazilian real (BRL). It is suggested that you always keep some cash with you. If you decide to venture to small beach villages, for instance, it is useful to have some cash for your expenses. Before you leave, you should check the NZD to BRL exchange rate so that you can get the best deal possible and later on have a well prepared trip.
Practical tips for planning your budget
Service is often included in the bill, but if not, a tip would be much appreciated. Therefore we suggest that you exchange EUR BRL in advance so that you can have some cash with you and offer a few reals.
Plan on an average budget of 350 reals per day per person for your trip. This will allow you to stay in a mid-range hotel, buy two meals and a ticket for public transport. You can also expect to spend around 50 reals per day on sightseeing and leisure activities.
