Thanks I will look into the baggage storage facility. Would it be safe to leave my passport in the luggage or take it with me (I've heard about pickpockets).
Any specific banks offer a better rate? I have Chase bank, and they will waive 5 ATM non-Chase trans fees / month and no foreign exchange fees, but I was told each foreign bank has their own rate. I was told to investigate ahead of time the different bank exchange rates.
Also any recommendation on the amount of Euro's I should get from the ATM for a day trip (do not want to take too much or too little as I do not travel much internationally, and will not be able use it in TLV or locally in US).
