ii) I've read MasterCard can have some pretty big fees for using it over there and should be avoided. Is this correct?
iii) Anything else I should consider?

I'm with BMO if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance
When I was in Europe, personally I just hit up ATM's to withdraw cash every few days. I found this to be the easiest with the best exchange rate/fees. I only had issues using my card at a couple of american bank branded machines in switzerland.
