What the chats answered

There are many exchange offices in Rome, especially in the center. However, be cautious as commissions can be high, sometimes up to 30%. It is advisable to check the rate in advance and ask for a written confirmation of how many euros you will receive for your dollars.

Some participants report finding exchange offices with good rates, for example, near Termini station. However, in other places, there may be cases of fraud, so it's better to check several options.

You can also exchange money at outlets or stores, where they sometimes offer exchanges without high commissions. However, this may be more difficult in central Rome.

Some recommend exchanging money in Russia or Belarus, as the rate may be more favorable than in Italy.
