Best to change to the local currency. Some places may accept Euros but most won't.

The number of EU countries that do not use the euro as their currency;
the countries are Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden.
the countries are Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden.
Whilst the answer is 'no' we found €uros were readily accepted in both Poland and the Czech Rep close to the border, as the main tourists were Germans, and they all had Euro cash, and being typically German, they did not have cards.

I didn't realise there were that many. I thought we (when we were in the EU) were the only ones!
Interesting Montenegro use the Euro even though they are NOT in the EU.

Are you talking to yourself?
Rules of entry into the EU now include conversion to the €uro before you join.
The non-Euro countries will join eventually, as most of their foreign exchange will be in Euro's as the only winners with converting money are the banks, so in the long run it does not make sense to keep a little local currency.
The GB Pound was always different, as it's a major traded world currency.
If truth be told, it would have made far more sense if the EU had adopted the pound as the single currency rather than the renamed Deutschemark.
It would have then placed the Central European bank in London, and made London the most powerful financial centre in the world.
But politics got in the way, as they thought (probably correctly) the UK would have too much influence over the rest of the EU
The EU is all about economic aligning, so you don't end up with two economies of massively different levels next to each other.
The EU don't want to deplete the population of one country as everyone moves next door, as has happened many times in the past, for example the Irish population in the 1840's was 6.5m, by the 1940's is was less half of that amount.
