Just got back from Europe.
Capital One is the only one I know of with no fees. I dont care for them but used my Citi card and the fees were not that bad.
If you can get a card with a smart chip here do so.
Almost any machine besides an ATM over there required a smart chip CC. Restaurants and most merchants we visited took both types though it was mostly ticket machines.
BTW the smart chip usage SUCKS! SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW pissed me off everytime I got behind a person using a CC with a smart chip. It was worse than waiting on someone to write a check. If the US ever goes that route they will need to speed up the networks 100x over what they have in Europe.
