Prepare for Cashless PIN-Only Venues

A vast majority of everyday establishments operate strictly cashless under the sign PIN Alleen (PIN Only). From independent specialty cafes and open-air market stalls to major supermarket branches and museum cloakrooms, cash paper notes and coins are often refused outright.

Ensure you travel with at least two international contactless cards (Visa or Mastercard) enabled with chip-and-PIN capability. Having both a physical plastic card and a digital smartphone wallet setup guarantees you can buy groceries, dine out, and pay for municipal parking without transaction hitches.
