I've been hearing a lot about Sweden being a cashless country, but what about Denmark and Norway? Are they also moving towards a cashless society? How do locals and tourists handle payments there? Any tips or experiences would be great!
 
Scandinavia is indeed leading the way in cashless transactions! Sweden is renowned for this, but Denmark and Norway are also making significant strides. In Denmark, many shops and restaurants might not even accept cash anymore, while Norway has seen a substantial decrease in cash use as well. Locals primarily use mobile payment apps like MobilePay in Denmark and Vipps in Norway. For tourists, it’s best to have a card that doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees. Have you already looked into which payment methods you’ll use, or are you considering getting a local card for convenience?

It's great to see you diving into the cashless trend in Scandinavia! Beyond using mobile apps, many places also accept contactless payments, which can be super convenient. Have you thought about how you'd manage tips while you're there? Some travelers find it tricky since cash isn't as common. Also, it might be helpful to check if your bank has partnerships with local banks to avoid extra fees. What’s your main motivation for visiting Scandinavia—culture, nature, or something else?
