Contactless and mobile-wallet acceptance depends on the merchant, network and device.
ATMs are widespread; issuer and operator charges vary.
If an ATM or terminal offers conversion into your home currency, compare the disclosed rate and fees with paying in the local currency before accepting.
Tipping is common in hospitality but may coexist with service charges.
Before travel, notify the card issuer when necessary, check foreign-transaction and ATM fees, and keep a backup payment method.
Airport exchange counters can be convenient but may use wider spreads or additional charges.
