It is generally better for travelers to use cards, as card payments are widely accepted across the country, including in most shops, restaurants, and public transportation. Cash is less commonly used but can be handy in smaller towns or for small purchases.
In Stockholm, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like public transport, tourist attractions, and busy shopping streets. Common scams include fake charity collectors and overcharging by taxi drivers who do not use meters. Travelers are advised to use official taxis or ride-sharing apps and keep an eye on their belongings to avoid theft.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
