Schedules and Systembolaget: Shops tend to close earlier than in southern Europe, especially on weekends. The sale of alcoholic beverages over 3.5% is monopolized by the state through 'Systembolaget' stores, which have restricted hours and do not open on Sundays.

Internal Transportation: The train network is modern and efficient, connecting the main cities. For long distances, such as going to Lapland, overnight trains or internal flights are good options. Buses cover more local routes. Renting a car is ideal for exploring rural areas freely.

Language: The official language is Swedish. However, the vast majority of Swedes, especially the younger generations, speak excellent English, so communication is usually not a problem for the tourist.

Tips: Tipping is not required or expected as the service is included in the bill. If the service has been exceptional, rounding up the bill or leaving a small tip (5-10%) is acceptable, but it is not standard practice.
