Swedish travel money
Thinking of exploring the picturesque streets of Stockholm or the breathtaking Swedish countryside? Here’s what you need to know about currency exchange and using Sweden’s currency.
Can you buy Swedish krona in the UK?
Definitely! Changing pounds to Swedish KR or vice versa in the UK is easy, and you can handle both transactions at Manor FX.
Where to get Swedish Krona in the UK?
The Swedish krona is a popular foreign currency. You can get Swedish krona at most major banks, post offices, and airport kiosks. But high exchange rates at these places mean less value for your money.
Manor FX makes changing your British sterling to Swedish krona easy and efficient. Converting your Swedish krona to pounds is just as simple.
We focus on giving you the best value for your Swedish adventure, unlike airport exchange kiosks!

We offer the best GBP to Swedish kroner and Swedish kroner to GBP exchange rates.
Should I exchange money before I travel to Sweden?
Definitely! It’s wise to have some local currency before arriving in Sweden. Having money for a taxi ride or a snack when you land is smart.
You can always convert Swedish krona to gbp if you come home with leftover travel money.
Can you swap GBP to Swedish krona in Sweden?
Yes. You can convert GBP to Swedish krona in Sweden, but it’s often better to convert British pounds to Swedish krona with a good exchange rate before you leave.
Is the Swedish krona a closed currency?
Not at all. The Swedish krona (SEK) is not a closed currency. It is openly traded and can be easily exchanged for the pound or other currencies.
What is the best currency to use in Sweden?
The Swedish krona (SEK) is the main currency. While euros might be accepted in some places, using the local currency is more practical.
Remember, when you’re back, you can convert any unused Swedish kronor to GBP.
Should I use cash in Sweden?
Carrying both cash and a card is advisable in Sweden. For smaller expenses, your Swedish krona will come in handy.
Can I use my debit card in Sweden?
Definitely! Sweden has a modern banking system. Most stores, restaurants, and ATMs accept major debit cards and credit card payments. But it’s smart to check for any fees from your UK bank.
A helpful tip: Inform your bank about your trip to Sweden to ensure your card works smoothly.
Can I use Apple Pay or Google Pay in Sweden?
Yes, in most places in Sweden, it’s possible to pay with electronic money, so card payments are the norm, and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay are widely accepted at tap-to-pay locations.
Even public transport in Stockholm (SL) accepts contactless cards and digital wallets.
That said, it’s still worth carrying a small amount of cash in Swedish krona just in case, some smaller businesses have their own rules, and cash acceptance can vary by sector.
How much cash should I take to Sweden?
Sweden, known for its high standard of living, can be more expensive than other places.
For a moderate budget, expect daily costs of about 800 SEK, roughly £77. This includes food, local transport, and entry to various attractions, so make sure to buy Swedish krona in advance.
How can I avoid ATM fees in Sweden?
Avoiding ATM fees in Sweden is pretty straightforward:
- Withdraw less often: take out a bit more cash each time, so you’re not paying fees on lots of small withdrawals.
- Use bank ATMs: if you do need cash, stick to ATMs attached to banks where possible.
- Choose to pay in SEK: if an ATM offers to charge you in GBP, decline it and pick Swedish krona (SEK) to avoid a worse exchange rate (dynamic currency conversion).
- Carry some SEK: Sweden is very card-focused, but having some krona is handy for the odd place that’s awkward about payment methods.
Do you tip in Sweden?
Tipping isn’t expected in Sweden, but it’s appreciated for exceptional service.
Is Sweden an expensive country to visit?
Yes, Sweden is relatively expensive. However, its stunning scenery, quality services, and unique experiences make it worth the cost!
