Haven’t the time to get into details AGM, but I’ve had success with WISE. Easy, low cost switching between multiple currencies, plastic and virtual Visa pre-paid cards. Zero issues with payment terminals in Europe in my experience. Add funds to your card from your CDN bank account anytime, anywhere. Limited ATM cash withdrawals if that's a priority. UK based provider.  

I also initially thought WISE looked good, but if I'm reading correctly you need to be careful with ATM withdrawals.
- it seems you can only withdraw CAD350/month FX free. After that they charge 1.75%.
- as well, after 2 atm withdrawals/month, they charge CAD1.50 ea.
