Wat zijn de belangrijkste visumtips?
- Sweden is nearly cashless — carry a card that works internationally (Visa/Mastercard).
- Prove sufficient financial means — Sweden is expensive, so show higher bank balances.

Hoe veilig is het?
4/5
Very safe. Petty theft can occur in Stockholm (Gamla Stan, metro, Central Station). Some suburban areas of Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö have higher crime rates but are not tourist areas.
Waarvoor moet ik oppassen qua oplichting?
- Pickpocketing on Stockholm metro and in tourist crowds.
- Begging scams where groups operate with organized coordination.
- Overpriced tours for northern lights — research operators before booking.
Welke gezondheidsmaatregelen zijn verstandig?
- Excellent healthcare. EU citizens can use EHIC/GHIC. Emergency number is 112.
- Pharmacies (Apotek) are efficient. Many products require prescriptions that are over-the-counter elsewhere.
Welke vaccinaties zijn verplicht?
- Routine vaccines only. No special requirements.
Is kraanwater veilig om te drinken?
Tap water is excellent quality throughout Sweden.
Zijn er actieve reisadviezen?
Extremely cold in northern Sweden during winter (-30°C possible). Short daylight hours in winter (as little as 6 hours in Stockholm, near-constant darkness in the north). Wildlife encounters (moose) when driving rural roads.
Veiligheidsinformatie is gebaseerd op openbaar beschikbare reisadviezen. Raadpleeg de reisadviesservice van je regering voor de laatste richtlijnen.

Wat moet ik weten over de cultuur?
Wat moet ik doen?
- Respect personal space — Swedes value their bubble more than most cultures.
- Remove shoes when entering someone's home — it's expected.
- Try fika (coffee and pastry break) — it's a cherished Swedish social tradition.
Wat moet ik vermijden?
- Don't be overly loud or boisterous in public — Swedes are reserved.
- Don't skip the queue — Swedes take orderly queuing very seriously.
- Don't bring up personal salary or income in conversation — it's considered private.
Hoe werkt fooi geven?
Service charge is included. Rounding up or adding 5–10% for excellent service is optional and appreciated.
Wat is de kledingvoorschrift?
Casual and functional. Swedes dress practically for weather. Smart-casual for dining. Outdoor gear is essential for nature trips.
Wat is de religieuze context?
Historically Lutheran but very secular society. Churches are cultural sites. Sweden is very progressive and LGBTQ+ friendly.
