The official Russian currency is the
ruble (RUB) divided into 100 kopeks. It
is important to take good condition US
dollars or Euro notes to change.
Banks are usually open from Mondays to
Fridays between 9:30 am and 5:30 pm.
Currency can be changed at banks,
currency exchange booths, and hotels.
ATMs are widely available in major cities.
Check with your bank to see if your card
is accepted and get exact locations.
Cash advances on credit cards can be
handled at the bank, but may be subject
to a higher commission.
Most large hotels and tourist areas accept
major credit cards, however, almost
everything has to be paid for in rubles.
