There are a few to choose from to be honest - the first one I started with was Bittrex. It has loads of coins to choose from and is fairly easy to navigate and use. Binance is one I have used as well that is quite good. They use googles 2FA system where you can have a code generate on your mobile/cell phone and this adds an extra security layer for you.

Stay away from bitgrail atm - withdrawals on hold I believe.

Hope this helps mate and good luck Wink

Neither of those exchanges are good for people who are *extremely* new to crypto -- you can't buy bitcoin on them, which is what the OP is asking i think.

Hello, new to crypto and bitcointalk so apologies if this has been asked before.

What exchange would you recommend for someone new and why please ?

I live in europe.

If you're an absolute newbie, and haven't bought crypto ever before, i'd advise you to use an exchange like Coinbase, fees are pretty high but the process is pretty straightforward.

If you're a bit more experienced and don't want to pay a heck amount of fees, use something along the lines of Bitstamp

As you mention you are from Europe I support the suggestion of Bitstamp. They are quite long in the business already learned there lessons of being attacked.
Only downside the don't offer many trading pairs.
