Just bring two ATM cards (tell your bank you're leaving the country first).
B of A has reciprocals with 3 or 4 European banks (like Barclays and B.M.P. Parabas) so no ATM fees.

You are talking about Schwab's former credit card. I did not say credit card--I said debit card, and it is still in existence and does not charge a foreign transaction fee for using a foreign ATM and reimburses atm bank fees. Other debit cards (Ally Bank's, for instance) charge a foreign transaction fee. We use the Schwab debit card for getting cash. We use a cc with no foreign transaction fees (Capital One Visa, but there are others) for things like paying for meals, hotels, and purchases (not to get cash).
