Frequently Asked Questions about Stockholm-Arlanda Airport
Travel Tips & Essential Information for Sweden
Sweden Runs on Cards and Phones More Completely than Almost Anywhere Else, and Cash Covered Only about One In-Store Purchase in Twenty in 2025. A Law in Force since July 2026 Puts Cash Back into Supermarkets and Pharmacies. Everything Else, Buses Included, Is Card Only
Official Languages: Swedish
English Is Close to Universal Here. Sweden Ranks Eighth of 123 Countries on the EF English Proficiency Index and Sits in Its Highest Band, and Staff, Signage, Ticket Machines and Museum Labels All Switch over without Being Asked. Swedish Is the Single Official Language, under the Language Act of 2009
Mobile Network: 4G and 5G Cover the Cities, the Main Roads and Most of the Populated South. Sweden Switched 3G Off during 2025 and Two Networks Closed 2G with It, so a Phone That Cannot Carry Voice over 4G May Fail to Make Any Call at All, Including to 112. Coverage Thins in the Mountains, the Far North and the Outer Archipelago
Roaming/SIM/eSIM: An eSIM Is the Easiest Route for a Compatible Phone, Because It Activates before You Land with No Shop Visit and No ID Check. Visitors on an EU or EEA Plan Already Roam at Home Rates. A Local Prepaid SIM Still Wins on a Long Stay or When You Want a Swedish Number, Though You Buy It in Person. Whatever You Choose, Confirm the Handset Supports Voice over 4G before You Travel, and Compare Coverage Maps Rather than Headline Prices If You Are Heading North
Sweden Is Not in the Euro, and a Foreign Contactless Card or Phone Wallet Pays for Everything, Including at Bus and Metro Readers. Since July 2026 Staffed Supermarkets and Pharmacies Must Accept Cash, with Narrow Exemptions, but Cafes, Museums and Transport Still Refuse It. Swish, the App Swedes Use between Themselves, Needs a Swedish ID Number and Is Closed to Visitors
Tipping Is Genuinely Optional in Sweden and Staff Are Paid a Full Wage without It. Rounding the Bill Up, or Adding around 10 Percent after a Good Meal, Is as Far as It Goes, and Leaving Nothing Offends Nobody. A Service Charge Is Rare and Has to Be Shown on the Bill When It Is Applied. Taxis, Bars and Hotels Expect Nothing. Card Terminals Now Often Propose 5, 10 or 15 Percent, and Declining Is Normal
Plug Type: Type C and Type F
Voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz
Adapter: Sockets Are the Standard European Round Two-Pin, so Most of Continental Europe Needs No Adapter. Travellers from the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada, Japan and Australia Do. Phone and Laptop Chargers Rated 100 to 240 V Work as They Are, but a 110 V Appliance Needs a Converter, Not Just a Plug
Sweden Is a Low-Risk Destination and Violent Crime Rarely Reaches Visitors. Gang Shootings and Explosions Do Occur in a Handful of Suburbs around Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö, but They Are Targeted and Almost Never in the Districts Tourists Use. The Everyday Risks Are Pickpocketing in Crowded Transport and Winter Weather
- Dial 112 Free from Any Phone for Police, Fire, Ambulance, and Mountain or Sea Rescue
- Call 1177 for Health Advice at Any Hour and 114 14 for Non-Urgent Police Matters Such as a Stolen Wallet
- Check That Your Phone Can Carry Voice over 4G, Because Swedish 3G Is Off and Some Handsets Can No Longer Reach 112
- Watch the Ice, the Short Winter Daylight and the Wind Chill, Which Cause Visitors More Trouble than Crime Does
- Tell Someone Your Route before You Hike, and Carry Layers, Water and a Power Bank Where the Signal Thins
- Respect Fire Bans, Which Are Common in Dry Summers and Cover Open Fires Even in a Built Fire Pit
- Look for Cyclists before You Step Off a Kerb, Because They Move Fast and Have Lanes of Their Own
Do
- Tap a Contactless Card or Phone on the Reader When You Board
- Carry a Few Hundred Kronor for Outages, Not for Daily Use
- Take a Paper Queue Number and Wait for It to Come Up
- Book Long-Distance Trains Early, While the Cheap Fares Exist
- Dress in Layers and Pack Something Waterproof in Every Season
- Take Your Shoes Off When You Enter a Swedish Home
Avoid
- Do Not Count on Cash, Which Most Cafes, Museums and Transport Still Refuse
- Do Not Expect Swish to Work, Because It Needs a Swedish ID Number
- Do Not Light an Open Fire during a Fire Ban, However Careful You Are
- Do Not Walk in a Cycle Lane, Which Is a Road Here and Not a Pavement
- Do Not Raise Your Voice on a Train or in a Waiting Room
- Do Not Pitch a Tent in Sight of a House or on Farmland
Local Cultural Tips
- Drinks above 3.5 Percent Alcohol Are Sold Only by the State Monopoly Systembolaget, Closed Sundays and Early on Saturdays
- You Must Be 20 to Buy at Systembolaget, Though 18 Is Enough in a Bar and for Weak Beer in a Supermarket
- Allemansrätten Lets Anyone Walk, Swim, Forage and Camp on Open Land, as Long as You Disturb Nothing and Destroy Nothing
- Fika Is a Real Institution, a Coffee and a Bun Taken Slowly with Other People, Rather than a Drink Grabbed on the Way Out
- Summer Daylight Barely Ends in the North and December Afternoons Go Dark by Three, Which Changes How a Day Is Planned
- Prices Already Include VAT, so the Shelf Price Is the Price You Pay
- Paper Queue Numbers Run Everything from Bakeries to Pharmacies, so Take a Ticket on the Way In
- Greet with a Plain Hej, Which Works for a Shopkeeper and a Stranger Alike
- Leave Space in a Queue and Never Close the Gap
- Arrive on Time, Because a Stated Time in Sweden Is the Actual Time
- Keep Your Voice Low in Cafes, on Trains and in Shared Spaces
- Ask before Photographing People, and Never Photograph Children You Do Not Know
- Split the Bill by Default, Because One Person Paying for Everyone Is Unusual
