I know this will be a silly question, but I've never traveled to Europe or anywhere outside of the USA for this length of time... what is the best way to pay for stuff while in these countries? Should we try to avoid using debit/credit cards and just carry cash with this? Do I need to figure out the currency exchange rate? Will places accept US dollars? Again, stupid question but I am new to all of this.

Credit card is best payment option. Just make sure that your credit card company doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees.

Use credit card.

Look into the Chase Sapphire card. You will need cash for the places that don't accept cards, but I wouldn't carry an excess amount. When you use the ATM over there decline the conversion rate the machine gives you.

ATMs are fine to use and generally give a good rate, but make sure to use a secure one. Try one in a high end hotel or in an enclosed area within a branch. Avoid the machines that face the street
