No, there are no restrictions. You can easily pay with credit cards in most shops and restaurants. Unlike in your home country, travelers’ checks cannot be used for payment for goods and services – you must cash them first.

But it can take up to several weeks, as your check will need to travel back to the issuing bank abroad for verification.
