Exchange Turkish Lira (TRY) before travelling to Turkey
If you're planning a trip to Turkey, it’s wise to familiarise yourself with how the local currency works so you can plan your travel budget effectively. Prices in Turkey are generally lower than in Sweden, so your trip doesn’t have to be costly. The local currency is the Turkish Lira (TRY), known locally simply as “lira”.
Although you can use your credit or debit cards in many places, carrying some cash is essential—particularly for small vendors, transport, and tipping. To get the most value for your money, we recommend exchanging your SEK to TRY before you travel.
Smart budgeting tips for your trip
Tipping in Turkey is not mandatory, but it's greatly appreciated—it’s customary for Turkish customers to tip, especially in restaurants, cafés, and for taxi drivers.
To plan ahead, consider setting a daily budget of around 966 TRY per person. This would typically cover a hotel stay for two, two decent meals, and a public transport ticket.
