However, it's important to inform your bank and credit card company of your travel plans before leaving to avoid any issues with transactions being flagged as fraudulent. Also, note that some banks may charge transaction fees on purchases outside your home country, so it's best to check with your bank about any possible fees before arriving.
It's also a good idea to carry some cash for smaller purchases, especially in small businesses where card payments may not be accepted.
