When traveling in Europe it is a good idea to have enough Euros for tips, etc. We also make sure we have enough to get by for a few days.

After that we do use the ATM's.

If you are going to use your ATM card you need to do 2 VERY important things.

1. Notify whoever you got your debit card from that you are going to be in Italy and the dates so that they do not put a block on it.

When you do that they should give you a number to call in an emergency (lost/ stolen card).

2. Make sure that your pin number is 4 digits and that it will work in Europe. (you can find that out when you call about being in Europe)
Otherwise, it won't work.

3. We always take 2 different credit cards in case one is stolen. I carry one and hubby carries the other. Also make sure you let your credit card company (companies) that you will be in Italy so that they do not block it.

Have a great trip!
