The best credit card for travel in Europe is the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card because it gives 1 - 5 points per $1 spent on purchases, plus an initial bonus of 60,000 bonus points for spending $4,000 in the first 3 months, worth $750 in travel. Chase Sapphire Preferred also has a $0 foreign transaction fee. The annual fee is $95, and you need good credit or better for approval.
If you’re looking to rely on a popular European airline, the British Airways Credit Card and the Lufthansa Credit Card are both good choices. There are plenty of other cards capable of saving you lots of money on European travel, too.
Best Credit Cards for Travel in Europe
Each of the best credit cards for travel in Europe has its own unique perks. For example, the Chase Sapphire Reserve® offers an initial bonus of 60,000 bonus points for spending $4,000 in the first 3 months and gives 1 - 10 points per $1 spent on purchases.
One thing’s for sure, though: The best credit cards for travel in Europe have no foreign transaction fees. You don’t want to be charged an extra 3% on all of your European purchases, after all. It’s also best to get either a Visa or a Mastercard, as other networks have lower rates of international acceptance.

I think VentureOne is also great. At the end of the day though, it depends on your score. Just look for anything that has no foreign fees, and that belongs on Visa or Mastercard.
