What would you guys do? Thanks
If I needed to get cash, I would get it on arrival. In Sweden lots of places refuse to accept cash and only take cards or mobile system payments. While there are some places in Sweden that refuse to take cards for transactions of less than say 50 SEK, those places can mostly be avoided pretty easily and substituted with purchases made at places that do take cards or even used with cards if adding in a pack of gum or something to hit the 50/100 SEK requirement.

The main reason for a foreign tourist to have cash on hand in Sweden is because sometimes foreign card transactions don't work and/or don't get accepted (in part or in full) for some reason or another.

In Denmark, I'm far more likely to need and use cash than in Sweden.
