Do I need cash?

[u/Low-Cartographer8758]

I will be visiting Luxembourg for the first time. Yoo hoo! I heard that Germany usually accepts cash only at shops which really stunned me in 2025. How about Luxembourg? I am not sure how much time I will spend in the city but I may go to local shops or something as a tourist. Can I just use a debit card? Another question: Pickpocketing for cash or mobile, how worrying is it when it comes to these kinds of crime?

Cards everywhere for everything, never an issue. Oh yeah and pickpocketing exists like in pretty much every city, pay attention to your belongings and watch your surroundings.
