Currency exchange in Belgium

Russian Visa and Mastercard don't work in the eurozone - payment systems have disconnected Russian banks. Belgium has the widespread local Bancontact system, but it doesn't replace blocked cards - for a Russian tourist this means relying on cash. Don't count on Mir as a working EUR withdrawal method. With ATM24, exchanging rubles, dollars or USDT for euros uses a rate confirmed before payment: submit a request in the calculator, specify the amount and method, the manager quotes the rate - then you pay.

Bancontact and a Foreign Tourist: Why You Need a Cash Reserve

Bancontact covers most retail locations in the country - from Brussels to Bruges. International Visa/Mastercard are technically accepted where supported, but Russian cards on these networks are blocked regardless of the country. Without a working card, it's more convenient to have a cash euro reserve from day one, rather than counting on one working ATM.
