If you have a credit card or a bank card that works like a credit card
abroad (Mastercard, Visa), you can usually pay straight from the card
without needing to have cash on you. You can also use it to withdraw
money from an ATM. Check with your bank first to see if there are any
fees involved. I know that i got the best rates using American bank
cards in Europe this way, rather than getting currency ahead of time
or using travelers checks or anything old fashioned.

HTH,
