<p><b>Packages may save money</b></p>
<p>An air plus hotel package might save money versus buying separately, but always do the math by comparing separately.</p>
<p><b>Other purchases</b></p>
<p>Use ATMs to get euros, but make sure your bank doesn't charge foreign ATM fees. Charles Schwab and Ally Bank are two that do not, as well as most credit unions.</p>
<p>Consider bringing two ATM cards if you rely on them for cash in case one becomes defective or gets eaten by an ATM on a Sunday when banks are closed.</p>
<p>Use a credit card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees, such as the Capital One card.</p>
<p>If a merchant or restaurant offers you to pay by credit card in dollars or euros, always choose euros because the merchant can set his own exchange rate if it is in dollars.</p>
<p><b>Staying in touch</b></p>
<p>T-Mobile now offers free unlimited data and text roaming throughout Europe, plus 20 cent-per-min. phone calls. It is much less expensive than buying a data plan. Or buy a SIM card when you arrive for your unlocked GSM phone.</p>
