Buying your Turkish Lira in advance is always the smarter choice. Airport bureaux de change and hotel exchange desks consistently offer rates far worse than specialist providers, while withdrawing cash from Turkish ATMs with a UK card means paying foreign transaction fees and poor conversion rates that quickly add up. Having TRY ready from the moment you land means you can pay for transport, food and activities straight away without any stress. Cash remains widely used throughout Turkey, particularly for local markets, street food, smaller restaurants, taxis, bazaars and tipping, making Turkish Lira an essential part of your travel preparation for any trip to the country.

The Turkish Lira (currency code: TRY, symbol: ₺) is the official currency of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, issued and managed by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey. The Lira is a floating currency, meaning its value is determined by global market forces and moves in response to economic data, inflation figures, interest rate decisions and broader market sentiment. In recent years the Turkish Lira has experienced significant volatility due to high inflation and economic uncertainty, which has made monitoring the GBP to TRY rate particularly important for UK travellers. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 TRY, with coins available in 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 kurus as well as 1 TRY. For most everyday spending, 100 and 200 TRY notes are the most practical and widely used throughout the country.
Order online with Click & Collect or visit our store for same-day exchange. Smaller denominations are useful for daily spending and tipping while travelling.
We monitor the market to offer strong GBP to TRY value for travellers.
