I am traveling to Denmark and Italy next month. I am carrying some Euros for the trip, which should work in Italy. My card allows international transactions without any fees. Do I need to carry Danish Krone as well? I am there for a week. How is the country’s dependence on cash vs. cards, especially for local transportation and food?

    Just to add a bit to the answer: AMEX works barely anywhere. Some restaurants have a surcharge for foreign credit cards. You must have PIN.

      Do you mean its better to use debit card than credit card?

        It’s likely cheaper. The restaurant will inform of the surcharge verbally, on the menu, and/or on the terminal. Unless you have good reason not to, you could consider a DKK account with Revolut (or similar provider) for the trip.
