Sweden does not use the euro, it means that Euro’s (€) will have to be changed to Swedish currency (SEK). 1 € equals ~10 SEK (April 20th, 2010).

Currency exchange can take place at every bank or in the special currency exchange offices. FOREX is, perhaps, the best one in terms of availability and rates. You can, of course, also use all the common credit cards acknowledged by international standards.

Swedish currency can also be withdrawn from the ATM-machines using all major credit cards (Visa and Master Card preferably).
