What currency is used in Malmö, and should I carry cash for my expedition?

In Malmö and throughout Sweden, the official currency is the Swedish Krona (SEK). Sweden is remarkably cashless, so your credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) will be widely accepted for almost all transactions, from public transport to remote trailside cafes. While it's wise to have a small amount of SEK on hand for absolute emergencies or very small, independent vendors in rural areas, relying on cards is the norm. For your eSIMAdventures, digital payments streamline your journey, leaving more room for gear.
