What all do you plan on paying cash for and what are you going to put on a card? That would be a big determining factor.

Almost all groceries take cards as do most restaurants. (not AMEX) Main limitation is if Lime/Flow/Cable and Worthless are keeping their cans clean and strings tight. Capital One Venture card seems popular and doesn't charge a foreign transaction fee.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

I mostly use cash. I hate getting the credit card bill after I get home - all the fun is over and now you have an unpleasant credit card bill. And before someone says it.... yes.... traveling with a wad of cash has it's risks.
I bring hundreds and fifties as well as maybe a couple hundred in twenties. I don't expect to use the 100 dollar bills where I would get more than twenty dollars back in change, i.e., I'm only using the hundreds when the transaction calls for one. The fifties are not a problem but I'll still only use them when I get at most 20 bucks back in change. I have never had any problem with any vendor not taking the "larger" bills.
Life's short - sail more!

I am a cash only guy. Like agrimsrud said, I hate that bill AFTER the vacation. I predominately carry $100's and $20's. No issues at all.

I'd go for smaller denominations - also VG does not have a bank - so cash is appreciated on VG. cheers Brian
