On the back you should see one or a series of logos...one says Visa, one says Mastercard or Cirrus, and one probably says Maestro (MasterCard and Maestro are the same company...one is used internationally and one is used primarily in English-speaking countries.). You might see one that says Discover or AmEx or ABN-AMRO or Plus or Star*. Sometimes the logo, usually the logo of the main card-processor, is on the front. These are just some, there are about 8 different networks and most cards are on two-or-more. Visa is the most common globally. It really does work anywhere.
Generally, as long as your bank knows you're going so they can flag the account to not reject transactions outside of expected locations...your card will work anywhere who is on at-least one of the same networks...usually indicated by a sticker on the door or register.
