Money, Exchange and tipping

Sweden is essentially a cashless country, so there is no need to exchange money for Swedish Kronor. A valid credit card (MasterCard or Visa) is required for most transactions. Tipping is generally limited to restaurants in the evenings, where you are often given the option to add a tip when paying by card. A 10% tip is most common, but tipping is always voluntary, and service charges are not added as an extra cost. It is not customary to tip for services like hotel room cleaning.
