Exchange Mexican Pesos (MXN) before travelling to Mexico
Planning a trip to Mexico? While many places accept credit cards, it’s always wise to have some local cash on hand. The Mexican Peso (MXN) is the official currency, and you’ll find that having pesos in advance makes your trip smoother—especially in smaller towns, local markets, or when tipping.
Before exchanging your SEK to MXN, check the exchange rate on our website to ensure you’re getting the best possible value. You can also refer to our sample daily budget to help estimate how much cash you might need for your trip.
Tips for planning your travel budget
A typical lunch in Mexico costs around 150 MXN, and dinner for two at a restaurant can be around 500 MXN. Tipping is customary and usually ranges between 10–15%, depending on the level of service.
If you’re travelling on a mid-range budget and want to enjoy local cuisine and attractions without feeling restricted, plan for an average of 1,100 MXN per person per day.

When do you need cash in Mexico?
Mexico relies largely on cash, and you will therefore need to carry MXN in cash for your everyday purchases.
Restaurants, street stalls, small grocery shops and neighbourhood vendors accept only cash payments. This is also true for the stalls in the many markets you will find throughout the country. As a general rule, it is essential to have pesos in cash every day, otherwise you may not be able to make any purchases at all.
Local transport is no exception! Whether you take the bus, a colectivo, a street taxi or the metro, you will need to pay in cash.
To enjoy your trip to Mexico as smoothly as possible, remember to exchange your euros for MXN before departure to avoid paying high exchange rates.
