Rules in force · 7Gamla Stan is cobbled, steep in places and closed to most…
  • Sweden ↗Sweden is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border.
  • Sweden ↗Many shops, cafés, buses and even toilets do not accept cash: bring a card that works with PIN and contactless.
  • Sweden ↗The right of public access (allemansrätten) lets you walk and camp for a night on most land; keep away from homes and leave no trace.
  • Sweden ↗Drinks stronger than light beer are sold only at the state Systembolaget shops, which close in the evenings and on Sundays.
  • Stockholm and the Archipelago ↗Archipelago ferries run on seasonal timetables and fewer sailings in winter: check the last boat back before you set out.
  • Stockholm ↗Gamla Stan is cobbled, steep in places and closed to most traffic: large suitcases go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
  • Stockholm ↗Many cafés, shops, buses and even public toilets take cards or phone payment only: carry a bank card and do not rely on cash.
