What is the currency exchange rate at Sri Lanka airport and can rubles be exchanged?

At Bandaranaike airport exchange offices, you can exchange dollars, euros, and other world currencies, such as Thai baht, but rubles are not accepted. The favorable rate is usually only for dollars and euros.

For example, as of 2025, the real rate including fees is approximately 298-304 LKR per 1 dollar and 345-352 LKR per 1 euro. The official rate may be slightly higher, but always compare offers at different points to avoid overpaying. We recommend exchanging currency in dollars or euros, as other currencies are exchanged at less favorable rates.
