Деньги и наличные

Валюта: EUR · Euro

The Netherlands is close to cashless: debit cards and phone payments work almost everywhere and some places refuse cash. A few shops and market stalls do not accept foreign credit cards (varies), so a debit card or phone wallet helps. Carry a little cash for small market stalls and tips.
