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?

About safety: I wouldn't openly carry a smartphone and a golden watch after midnight at the major train stations. I also suggest not getting black-out drunk alone at clubs with 500€ in cash on you.

And you can go card only.
