Buying Euros and Swiss Francs Before Departure or at ATM in Europe

Jump to last reply

In the past I've done it both ways but have not kept track of the costs. My bank will charge $5 for each ATM use in Europe. If I buy them at home I am paying a premium of about $5-6 per $100. How good are the rates at ATMs in Paris and Zurich? Any suggestions for which way to go?
