Zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag

📣 Hinweise für Reisende

Sweden is the largest Nordic country by area and population, offering visitors experiences ranging from deep forests and lakes to Viking-Age heritage and modern pop music scenes. It contains 270,000 islands, many of which are accessible through the right to roam.

• Be aware that the public holiday may fall on December 27th or 28th.
• Show up on time for all appointments and meals.
• Understand that personal space and privacy are highly valued.
• Follow organized queueing procedures using numbered slips.
• Respect gender neutrality in social contexts and purchases.
• Avoid initiating discussions about personal finances or religion.
• In homes, it is customary to remove your shoes. Do not expect extensive service attentiveness; staff respect customer privacy. Punctuality is highly valued; arrive on time for meetings and meals. In public transport, if multiple seats are available, sit in the assigned seat rather than next to another person. Swedes do not typically cheek-kiss when greeting, preferring a hug among close acquaintances.
