In this sense, I prefer countries with widespread contactless use and chip-and-PIN because the terminals are always customer facing. With a customer facing terminal one can at least see the prompts.
I highly doubt PIN's bypassed with any terminal in Europe. I'm not sure how that situation would be handled, though. Maybe they tap every European card and reserve insert for Americans?
