Deutschebank ATM locations Rome
 
Hi
We're planning to use our BofA atm card in Rome, and we're trying to locate the Deutsche bank ATMs that are part of the Global ATM group.
Can anyone who has used them in Rome give us any hints as to where they are located?

I've gone through the Deutschebank website but its giving me bank locations that are so far away from the areas we'll be visiting it seems we'll have to take a cab and make a special trip just to go to the bank.

Did anyone come across Deutsche bank at locations that were handy to the tourist sights, the colosseum, vatican etc? We are staying near Piazza Navona.

I'd love to know in advance if we're going to stumble across Deutsche bank in handy places or if we'll have to make that taxi trip for a withdrawal.

Thanks

A taxi ride will be 6E, so just bite the bullet and pay your bank's $3 fee to use the closest ATM. There will be no fee from the European bank, so when you withdraw $300 it is at a cost of 1%. Excellent value for the convenience, I think.

Thanks Kayd.
I was dreading wasting all my precious time looking for the right bank. 1% is still so much better compared with the exchange rate here in the US. I got the bare minimum amount of euros to get me started and the rate was such a rip-off. Everything I've read tells me that the exhange rate from the ATM bank wont be as bad

Yes, ATM exchange rates are very close to official interbank rates (within 1% in my experience); cash-for-cash exchanges will almost always cost 6% or more.

I've used two Deutschebank ATM's in Rome with BofA card. Note -- an ATM ONLY card from BofA will no longer work with Deutschebank. I assume yours is an ATM/debit card -- right?

The one nearest you is probably the one on Corso Vittorio Emmanuele and is almost directly across from the Museum of Rome. I forget the exact corner, but easy to see when you're there -- very close to Palazzo Massimo and Cancellaria.

The other one I used was somewhere not far from Termini -- I'm not sure of exact location.
