We definitely recommend having some euros with you for your Lake Como trip. It’s always sensible to carry a small amount of cash in Italy. It’s often needed for payment in smaller cafes and restaurants. Having cash is often also useful when paying for some public transport options. In addition, you may need some for purchases at local markets and for taxis.
However, as well as carrying cash, we recommend you also carry currency on a pre-paid currency card. Why not consider carrying a WISE card. Super easy to use, a WISE card allows you to top up in your local currency and then exchange that money and spend it in euros.
Finally, along with carrying cash and a pre-paid currency card, we also recommend having a standard credit or debit card with you on your travels. Having a variety of payment methods will always give you a second or third option should one of them fail.
