p0240 Posted July 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Hi We will be in Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo, for 3 nights at each, all of which have different Kroner. Do we need to have the different Danish, Swedish and Norwegian Kroner or do they take euros? I am thinking of simple purchases, coffee, snacks etc. thank you for your help Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted July 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Cannot address Copenhagen but spent 2 weeks in Sweden and Norway last year. Sweden is virtually a cash free society. I had a difficult time using up the kroners I acquired. Even for small convenience purchases, a bottle of water., a snack everyone just wanted CCs. Norway was a little less of an issue but credit cards were still #1 and I rarely saw locals using cash. If you do withdraw currency I would keep the amount small.

GUT2407 Posted July 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2016 A card free of overseas transaction fees is the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0240 Posted July 25, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted July 25, 2016 A card free of overseas transaction fees is the best bet. I have been trying to find one, but they all seem to have 2 or 3% fee, unless you mean a travel cash card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted July 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I have been trying to find one, but they all seem to have 2 or 3% fee, unless you mean a travel cash card? Ours is through our Building Society, many recommend 28 degrees. (pretty sure I've got that name right). Edited July 25, 2016 by GUT2407 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonia2509 Posted July 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2016 BankWest Credit card has nil overseas transactions fees. The exchange rate is also excellent. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually chip and pin although it defaults to signature first . My version has no exchange fee, not sure of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted July 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Another thing depending on where you fly home from. Most large European airport shops will take multiple currencies, bills only, and will even aggregate them for your purchases so you can clean out leftover kroners there.
