Buy Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) before travelling to Hong Kong
Planning a trip to the vibrant city of Hong Kong? The thought of exploring this fascinating destination is surely exciting—and now that you’re preparing for the journey, don’t forget one essential: exchange Swedish Kronor (SEK) to Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) before you go.
Hong Kong is budget-friendly, especially if you plan ahead. English is widely spoken, making it easy to get around. While cards are commonly accepted, it’s always smart to carry some local currency, especially for markets, public transport, and smaller vendors. Check the SEK to HKD exchange rate before departure to secure the best value and plan your budget in advance.

When do you need cash in Hong Kong?
Card and contactless payments are widely accepted in Hong Kong. However, having HKD in cash during your trip is always good practice.
Some typical restaurants, such as Cha Chaan Teng – small local canteens you will find on every street corner – only accept cash payments.
Similarly, at certain traditional markets, cash is often required at the stalls to make purchases.
Finally, exchanging your SEK to HKD before your trip is an excellent way to benefit from favourable exchange rates, while also maintaining control over your travel budget. You will have a clear idea of how many Hong Kong dollars you have to spend, allowing you to plan your purchases within this limit.
