Are there ATM fees in Italy?

Usually yes, from both ends. The Italian machine may charge €2–5, and your US bank adds its own foreign withdrawal fee plus a currency conversion percentage unless you have a card that waives them. Withdraw from ATMs attached to real banks rather than the branded standalone machines in tourist streets, which charge the most and push currency conversion hardest. Take out enough to last several days rather than making small daily withdrawals, and always decline the machine's offer to convert to dollars. A no-foreign-fee debit card is worth opening before a two-week trip.

This one changes. Last checked August 13, 2026 — confirm it close to your trip.
