Post Office Travel Money - which accounts for one in four UK foreign exchange transactions - said there has been "strong demand" for euros in recent months, suggesting there is still a significant appetite to travel to Europe post-Brexit.
Euro sales are up three per cent year-on-year compared with January to mid-February 2018, figures provided by Post Office Travel Money showed.
Sales of the euro also surged by five per cent year-on-year in November and December 2018 compared with the same months in 2017.
As well as planning holidays to Europe, some holidaymakers may be considering changing their money now because they are unsure about potential future currency swings in the uncertain political and economic climate.
The sterling remains resilient against the euro, around two per cent up on its position a year ago.
