Use ATM machines. They are everywhere and you will get your best exchange rate from the ATM.

Start at the airport, so you will have some money for cabs or tips.

Make sure to let your bank and your credit card company know when you are in Europe. If they know this, they will not put any holds on your credit cards or ATM card for unusual purchases, etc.
