You absolutely should not count on having any US credit card be your primary financial instrument while travelling in Europe . A lot of places in Europe have far lower credit card acceptance than the US , and far lower acceptance of cards that don ' t use chip and PINthe vast majority of US cards are now chip and signature , which many places esp . less touristy places will not be able toknow how to process .
