Culture & Travel Tips
Best Time to Visit
Summer (June-August) for midnight sun and outdoor activities. Winter (December-February) for Northern Lights, skiing, and ice hotels. Spring and fall offer shoulder season benefits. Be aware of limited daylight in winter.
Cultural Notes
Swedes value punctuality, personal space, and equality. Queuing is taken seriously (look for number systems). Fika is a sacred social ritual. Swedes are environmentally conscious. Midsummer is the biggest celebration after Christmas.
Insider Tips
Sweden is nearly cashless; cards accepted everywhere, some places don't accept cash at all. Learn about fika (coffee and pastry breaks) and lagom (moderation). Tap water is excellent. Allemansrätten allows public access to nature.
