Are credit cards widely accepted and safe to use locally? Are ATMs common and do you recommend using them? Are they safe to use?
Yes to all. It's helpful to have some cash for the markets. - Jun 2018
Yes, yes, and yes. No problem here. - Sep 2016
Both easy to use. Setting up an Italian bank account is intimidating but doable and is a way to avoid ATM fees. A lot of people just rely on the ATM from their U.S. bank and live with the fees. - Aug 2013
I used them everywhere. At some stores and restaurants US debit cards won't work, but credit cards will. - Jun 2010
Uh, they work! - Dec 2008
Readily available. Although some do not take American debit cards even when it says Visa, Mastercard, etc. - Jan 2008
