Currency in Sweden – The Swedish Krona (SEK)
What currency should you take to Sweden?
The official currency of Sweden is the Swedish krona, abbreviated as SEK (ISO 4217 code). The currency symbol is kr.
Key Information About the Swedish Krona
Although Sweden is part of the European Union, it does not use the euro. The krona remains the only legal tender, so it’s important to bring or exchange the correct currency when visiting.
How is the Swedish Krona Structured?
1 krona is divided into 100 öre, but öre coins were discontinued in 2010 due to low value. All transactions are now rounded to the nearest krona.
Banknotes in Circulation:
