North Koreans pay with the North Korean Won (KPW). It is for tourists not allowed to pay in local currency in North Korea. For payments we use Euros, US Dollars or Chinese RMB. RMB is the easiest to use, as change for Euros or US dollars is more difficult. If you still want to pay with Dollars or Euros, make sure you bring small banknotes with you. The only place where you can get Korean Won is in the Kwanbok Supermarket. Here you can use the local currency to pay for goods in the supermarket. How much money you spend in North Korea depends entirely on how much you want to drink and / or how many souvenirs you want to purchase. In general, you spend the most in the evenings - a glass of beer in the hotel bar costs 22RMB, while a bottle of beer at the bowling alley, billiards room or in the store costs only 10RMB. We also recommend setting aside some money to tip the North Korean guides, which is common and somewhat expected. Books cost from € 3.00 for a small pamphlet to € 50.00 for a hardcover with images. A normal paperback costs about € 5.00. Unique works of art cost € 50.00 to € 2,000.00, postcards € 0.20 and an international stamp € 1.20. Since most prizes are already included in the tour, you don't have to bring a lot of extra cash, but most people still spend more than expected on drinks, souvenirs and entertainment such as billiards and karaoke. So bring enough! At Beijing station you can, if necessary, withdraw or exchange some extra money before you leave.
