Been to Iceland recently?

I'm going to Iceland next month, and the subject of money has come up. I've read that cash isn't really needed anymore, everywhere apart from a few minor attractions outside of Reykjavik takes cards.
It just seems alien to me not to take any cash with me when I go away

Hi, we went in Feb, travelled down the south side and golden circle, we didnt take any money with us and Just used our revolut card. Never had an issue with needing actual cash

You can take cash if you want! They will also be quite happy accepting card for things as well!

aren't they offering a discount for over 60s? 🤔🤣

We went a few years ago and used a mixture of card and money and both accepted no problem

Eye watering prices but I'm sure you are aware.

Have a great time it's an amazing country

We went in April and only used our credit card. No cash required

We went in October 2019 and we didn�t take any cash. I don�t use cash in the uk so I was happy to not use it over there!

Thanks everyone, it wasn't that I wanted to take cash, I didn't know if I needed to. The answer looks like no, thanks.

Quick Update:
Back from Iceland yesterday, and can confirm we didn't use a single piece of cash, used card everywhere.
