Sign up for a Charles Schwab bank account. Do a quick google search for a referral link and you can get $100 when you sign up. No ATM fees anywhere and Schwab will reimburse your fees charged by any local bank within 30 days. I use it in conjunction with my main account and transfer over cash before a trip. It's worked like a charm in several European countries and Turkey when I need cash (put all my spend on no foreign fee credit cards that I can),
