When I travel abroad I just use my mastercard, why doesn't that work for them? I don't know anyone without a mastercard or a visa.

- Svip 7y agoWhere do you travel? There are plenty of countries I've been to that don't accept any foreign cards. Unless you only go to the fancy hotels and restaurants, I suppose. But if you actually want to interact with small merchants abroad, you need cash. I never travel abroad without cash, and that includes when I travel to Sweden.

In the Copenhagen subreddit we also recommend people not bringing in cash, at least as long as their credit card situation is somewhat reasonable.
