Use onecard for card swipe transactions. It has low forex markup (1% + gst). Check under offers section in app, if you see 0% forex fees offer, then you will get 1% value back on forex spends.

depends on the length of the trip and activities intended to do there.

unless lots of flea market shopping or local food is to be tried at multiple places

a forex card and some local currency ought to be enough.
(Obviously keeping 300-400 Euros, in cash, would not hurt if staying longer.)

Carrying usual Visa/MC cards would be okay, but got to check with local (banks) issuer as to the exchange rate spread and ATM use charges, if any.

update the post with the cards you may readily have.
