As someone with extensive travel experience, I can say it's not quite
that simple.  In a number of countries I've visited, there have been
ATMs with the VISA logo that would not work with a card issued in some
other country.  My experience is that most hotel and restaurant
reception personnel can tell you where and how to find the nearest ATM
that can handle international cards.  The ATMs in places like airports
and train stations are good bets if you don't have someone handy to ask,
and it's often a clue if there is extensive alternate language support
in the user interface, but I've learned that even in some EU countries,
not all ATMs in all train stations will take VISA cards from the USA.
