Swedish Krona is the official currency of Sweden. It's known as "Krona" for short (or "Kronor" as the plural), with the currency code SEK. The name translates to "crown" in English.

Unlike some currencies that are shared across borders, the Krona is only used in Sweden. Although Sweden is a member of the EU, it doesn’t use the euro.

In Sweden, prices can vary. The country is generally considered more expensive than many European destinations, but offers excellent value when it comes to quality, safety and experience.

See examples of how far your Krona could go, based on average prices in some of the most popular Swedish destinations.

There are also a few practical things you can do to make your Krona go further. For example:

When travelling to Sweden, there's no limit on how much cash you can take. But if you're carrying the equivalent of €10,000 or more per person (in any currency), you must declare this to Swedish Customs. If you don't declare it, your cash could be seized and you could face a penalty.

Sweden is one of the most cashless societies in the world, so a travel money card is likely to be more practical than carrying large amounts of cash.

If you’re back from your holiday with leftover Krona, head to your nearest Tesco Travel Money bureau to exchange it back to Pounds - no matter where you bought it in the first place.

If you add our Buy Back promise when you buy your Krona with us, we’ll buy any leftover currency back at the same rate you bought it.

No matter how you purchase your travel money, whether it be in store, online or over the phone, you will not be charged any card handling fee by us. However, regardless of your card type, your card provider may apply fees, e.g. cash advance fees or other fees, so please check with them before you purchase your travel money.

You can cancel a Click+Collect order any time prior to collection. We'll refund you with the full Sterling amount that you paid for your order, unless you cancel less than 24 hours before your collection date, in which case we'll charge a £10 late cancellation fee.

We are unable to refund any fees charged by your card issuer, so please contact them if you have any further queries.
