This has always been my strategy, too. And I use a card from Schwab, who refunds all ATM fees and charges no international exchange fees. I also consistently get a better exchange rate than the one my company gets on the charges I put on the corporate credit card.

I've always found ATM's to be a place to get a good exchange rate.   Banks have access to the best exchange rates.  ATM charges a fixed fee, and your card fee is known ahead of time.      So for example, ATM fee ~$2, and card issuer fee between 1.0 to 3.0% depending on your issuer.    Compare this to a  typical 10% airport exchange cost.     If going this way, you should tell your bank ahead of time of your travel plans, else you may set off the automatic security flag and accidentally get your card shut off.

I always used <http://eurochange.cz/kudy-k-nam/> when in Prague. 20
minutes by foot (ca. 1 mile) from Hilton or Intercontinental.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
