Going in July, will they accept a British credit card in restaurants, or should I just take Euros? I wont be using Sterling or taking cash out ofATM. Thanks all.

Visa, Barclaycard etc. They are global aren't they ? I'd take some cash anyway in case of emergency but I can't believe your card won't be accepted most places.

Depends where you go, but 99% will take cards. You'll probably want some pocket money as well though.

Whilst the restaurants will accept a British credit card, best to take Euro , some credit card companies not only give a bad exchange rate they also add an additional charge like £3 per transaction to cover the foreign exchange transaction.

All good answers above but i think smurf is worrying because of the few that haven't been able to exchange their pounds while away at the moment being a bit sensationalised in the papers, this is just a temporary blip while the markets settle I'm sure. After all we are still a member of the EU for at least 2 years.
