Well not me but my wife is going on a Scandanavian tour + Finland from Korea next week. Is there anything she should know about before going. I’ve been to Europe myself a few times but not the northern part and I’m just worried bout her even though it is relatively safe up there.
That said, anything she should know good or bad? local customs? warnings? tourist traps?

Someone down voted you but this is correct. Card payments are free in Sweden but if you have a foreign card your bank will charge an exchange fee.
Same as when we Swedes use our cards abroad.

This depends on the bank, there are a few that do 0% and just charge you whatever VISA or Mastercard’s rate is, but yes many large banks charge a foreign transaction fee of anywhere from 1% to 5% on top of the VISA/Mastercard rate.

It’s around 1%, better than forex rates. I wouldn’t worry.
