Which credit card would you recommend?
Amex, Visa and Mastercard are accepted pretty much everywhere. Discover is starting to be accepted, but not everywhere. Discover suggests having another type of card when traveling internationally.
Look for a card that does not have an ATM transaction fee. Also check to see if the card charges for foreign transactions. A lot of people have had success with cards from Capital One and Chase. Check with your current bank/ credit card issuer to see what they have to offer.
