Iceland - is cash still widely used?

[Tiggertum]

Heading there soon and just try in for work out how much I need to order.

thanks!

We took a small amount of Krona (for coffees etc) and cards for everything else.

It's a VERY expensive country, but fascinating. I recommend hot springs and whale watching trips.

I haven't ordered any because the bunf I've read says cards for everything. Is that not correct?

Thanks 2bazookas.

@50mg - this is sort of what I’m wondering, is it worth ordering any at all.

Can you not withdraw a small amount from an ATM over there if needed?

Also, if you travel a bit and don't have one already, open a Revolut account as a travel only stash! I have one and it really is so easy to use. It automatically converts to the local currency at the best available rate.

Went earlier this year and didn't use cash at all.

Thanks all - won’t bother!

Same didn’t need cash at all for food/drinks/shopping. But we did use some for giving to guides for the day trips we did.

Was there sept 21, paid by credit card for everything.

No, it's pretty much cashless.

We’re here now! Not needed cash yet and we’ve been here a week.
