Travel / Tourism Do I need cash?

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?

I'm from the US...I used my credit cards in Luxembourg City with zero issues last month, though I kept a small amount of cash on me just in case.

Situational awareness is good to have, though I rarely felt worried about my personal safety.
