gadabout60 Posted May 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Just booked a getaway this morning - happy with what I have paid and now I have to stop following the prices!! Anyway - just wondered about currency - the non Euro stops (Copenhagen, Stockholm, couple of other Swedish stops and St Petersburg) - does anyone know if you need to get local currency to buy coffee, lunch, postcards etc or will they accept euros or sterling ?

Thejuggler Posted May 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Far easier to use local currency in Denmark and Sweden, some outlets may take Euros, but the exchange rate won't be in your favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrdsrdsr Posted May 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Official places like state museums, especially in St Petersburg, will probably only take the official currency. I suspect street traders in St Petersburg will give better rates for foreign cash, but it's quite a few years since I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadabout60 Posted May 18, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks for that I anticipate paying for anything bigger by card and it just seems a pain to get small change - but I suppose I'll just get some on the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
