cash money when coming to Samara. The amount of cash is unlimited, just
do not forget to declare it at the customs. The reasonably safe amount
can vary from $1000 to $3000. The most preferable currency is US
dollars. Just always try to keep your money with you and never leave it
at the hotel or the car. NOTE: There’s a 24 hour currency exchange
office at the International Airport Terminal in Samara. It’s smart to
change $100 - $200 right upon your arrival to Samara airport, because
it’s next to impossible to exchange currency into rubles after 5:00 PM
as most of the exchange offices are closed after 5:00 PM.
