    I think it was cheaper to buy here when I went to Stockholm in January. Although I got a staff rate so I dont know exactly. In general Sweden is a very expensive country so I would say they will have higher commission rates etc.

    The only difference in the exchange rates would be small unless you are changing thousands. Try a couple of banks to compare the rates. Alternativitly you could use a debit card (laser, visa) check with your bank for fees on them first.

    Im a regular traveller to Sweden, and i never change money here. I use my debit card (Laser) or change the currency in Sweden (Forex is a good choice there)

    POS are free of charge in Sweden also (Laser anyway)

    I checked one time the exchange rate at Dublin airport (it was one bank in the entrance hall) and the exchange rate was a joke.
