Yes. Most credit cards will hit you hard for cash withdrawals though so you may be better using your debit card to get cash, just as you would at home.
Check with your bank and/or credit card supplier to see how much they charge for foreign transactions.0 -
Quite often in Dublin, paying with a credit card, I was asked if I wanted to pay in Euros or Pounds. Go for the Euros, as the shop's exchange rate is rarely, if ever, better than your bank or credit card's rate.
