🇸🇪 Costs & Culture: Your Practical Guide to Sweden

Tipping: Most restaurants don’t expect tips. However, some places in Visby may suggest a 10% tip—feel free to add it if service was exceptional. 🧾 Fun phrases I learned: Hej → “Hey” (Hello, sometimes doubled: Hej hej!) Hej då → “Hey-doh” (Goodbye) Tack → “Tack” (Like the end of “attack” – Thank you) 😊 Culture: Swedes value quietness, personal space, and sustainability ♻️. Equality and modesty are key—even service staff are treated as equals. Respect is mutual! 🌤️ Weather & Food: Weather: Early May was windy and chilly 🥶. If planning a trip to Fårö Island, summer is highly recommended! ☀️ Food: Swedish cuisine focuses on meat and dairy 🧀🍖, with fewer vegetables. Bring vitamins or snack on fresh fruits during your trip! 🍎 #StockholmTravel #Sweden #NordicTravel 🌍✨
