There are 2 types of limits no matter what country you are in:
- the limit on your card itself
- the limit of the ATM
My bank will allow me to set whatever daily limit
I want. My wife's bank caps her at $500 a day.
Near where I live there are some ATMs with a per transaction limit of $500 and others with $1,000.
In Europe I have hit varying limits. But if you need more than the machine allows simply withdraw the max, remove your card and do another transaction. I have done as many as 3 without a problem.
With ATMs so plentiful you can always use a second or third if need be. Best let your bank know in advance in case this raises their suspicions though.

The daily limit is set by your bank, the default limit being usually $350/day, but you can set your own limit, depending on how comfortable you feel. We've set the daily limit on our business ATM at $1300, but as already noted, the amount you can withdrawal at one time is limited to which ATM you're using.
