USD to TRY Converter

About the USD/TRY Pair

The Turkish lira has been one of the most volatile major-economy currencies over the past decade, driven by persistently high domestic inflation and periods of unconventional monetary policy from Turkey's central bank. For dollar-holding travelers, this has generally made Turkey a notably affordable destination, since a given amount of dollars converts to far more lira — and buys far more locally — than it would have several years ago. Anyone sending money to or from Turkey should expect this pair to move more, and more often, than a typical major currency pair.

Why has the Turkish lira lost so much value in recent years?

Turkey has experienced sustained high inflation over the past several years, and periods where the central bank held interest rates below the inflation rate, which economists broadly agree accelerates currency depreciation over time.

Is Turkey cheaper to visit because of the weak lira?

For travelers earning and spending in US dollars or euros, yes — a weaker lira generally means your money stretches further on hotels, meals, and local goods priced in lira, though imported goods can still be relatively expensive.
