Major banks will exchange all major currencies. The dollar exchange rate is fluctuating and is not as high as it used to be.

It's going to be rather hot during July. |

Don't take much cash, exchanging money is expensive.
Forget credit cards. Outside of major businesses in major cities they're useless and a liability. Ditto for Travelers Cheques.
Bring your ATM card and live off cash from ATM machines. We've done it for years. Withdraw rubles, this is a cash economy.
End of story. |
