Ride safe
Pick a fair taxi: Taxi Stockholm 15 00 00, Taxi 020, Taxi Kurir, TopCab, and SverigeTaxi are all OK. Or just take an Uber.
Cash is not King
Bring your credit card (and remember, AmEx is not accepted everywhere).
Freedom to Roam
Allemansrätten (the Right to Public Access) means you can explore any land (with the exception of private gardens and cultivated land), as long as you don’t disturb and leave no trace.
Public Transport
Plan and pay for your trip on the SL Journey Planner app.
Liquor Limited
Only one store sells booze in Sweden, and that’s Systembolaget.
Tipping
10-15% in restaurants. Round up for the taxi fare.
Emergencies
In an emergency, call 112. For health counseling, 1177.
Clubbing
Most bars and restaurants close at 01. Clubs stay open until 02, 03 or sometimes even 05. Bring your ID and be there on time to avoid the long queues.
