In April, it was more profitable at the airport.
In Hikkaduwa, the rate changed several times a day, but all the time a little lower than the airport rate, they changed it into a western without a passport.

At the airport, in any case, it is better, at least from the point of view that on the way back you can exchange the rest of the money with a check in hand. And so we did not change much (100 ye) of this completely for the first time. And they were withdrawn from the card at an ATM, and in some stores (in a supermarket, for example) they paid with a card. But we have a card such that, according to its tariffs, it was at once more profitable for us to do this than to change dollars in exchangers. Plus, in the system, the course is usually more profitable and the card has no commission for the conversion. You are from Ukraine, so I recommend going to the Idea Bank, it is with their card that it is very profitable to travel.

Girls, thank you! And another question. Do they take rupees on the dutik? Suddenly, I won’t spend everything, but it’s too unfavorable to change the course back.

Yes? In 2013 perfumes were cheaper there than here. Rather, the price was the same, only in our country in euros, and in Colombo in dollars. And we still have no options - in Sharjah, the docking is one hour. We’re unlikely to have time for a dutik :(((Yes, and it’s not cheap there. I don’t think there will be many rupees left, I’ll spend it on some garbage at the airport :)))

Somehow I didn’t pay attention to perfumes, and the choice of whiskey was small and there were no promotions at that moment. Give us a gift =))

And then there were promotions - body lotion with the same smell was also attached to the perfume. And Calypso 3 bottles went for the price of 2. Only I slowed down and took two instead of three :(((((The thinker does not work well at night :((

Hey! I'm already back! I didn't listen to you. At the airport, the rate was 152 (the rate of the National Bank was 153 with kopecks). I decided to exchange only 200. I read that they give a good rate in jewelry stores and hoped to exchange it there. And figurines! In Hikkaduwa I changed hundred parts at 151, a trifle is more expensive for them - twenty at 152. And in the mountains they gave only 150 even for small bills.
At the airport there is a type of food city supermarket department, where you can buy tea and spices and much more for rupees. But we don't have any :((((

It doesn’t matter where, we changed part at the airport, it wasn’t enough, we came to the bank in Koggala village, and it was closed, it was around 17.00. Local "money changers" are also spinning here - in a second they changed without any problems at the same rate and of course without any registration (you need to fill out something with a passport in the bank)
