I try to minimize the amount of cash I bring to Europe and have had no trouble getting cash in big cities. Does anyone know the availablilty of ATMs on the Lakes? I will be staying in Bellagio and Malcesine. Thanks!

There's an ATM on the lakefront in Bellaggio. Don't know about Malcesine.

Hello FromDC
Log on to visa.com, choos Italy from drop-down list, choose the Find a Cash Machine link, enter information as required and off you go!

THank you so much, very helpful

" Bancomats" are everywhere !

We pulled cash with my checking Visa card from the Banco Popular ATM's in Varenna & Menaggio - both part of the Deutche Bank network, which somehow made my Tedesco-lineaged wife feel "better" about the transaction. My credit union charged another buck for the non-member transaction. Don't know what DB's extra charges are yet.

Thanks for that link, Pammca. Very helpful.

You're welcome! I've had so much wonderful help from this site that it's just great to be able to return the compliment! There's absolutely nothing like Fodors here in the UK - I love it!!
