There is a local Bank (Sparkasse Wetzlar) that provides an ATM located at Seibertstrasse 10, Wetzlar. Good news: US-based ATM cards actually work here, as do credit cards!

Many shops and gas stations accept credit cards too, but you cannot rely on it. In many cases, being ready to pay cash is the safest.

We recommend:

1. Bringing enough cash with you (Euros) to cover the first few days of your stay. The ATMs at the airport will accept US-based ATM cards, so get a few euros when you arrive. 
   

2. The current exchange rate is roughly 1.55, so for every Euro you have to pay US $1.55.
   

3. If a shop accepts credit cards, use that instead to save your cash and get a better conversion rate.
   

4. Go to our local ATM if you need additional cash.
