People Also Ask About Sweden

  1. Do I need a visa for Sweden? How does one get a Sweden visa?

    Yes, you will require a Schengen visa for visiting Sweden. A Schengen visa typically covers 26 countries including Sweden.

    You can download a form on their official website, but in case you’re travelling to only one Schengen country (in this case, Sweden), you will have to apply at the appropriate embassy/consulate within your respective country. It is recommended you apply at least six weeks prior to your departure.

  2. What is the currency of Sweden and where can I get my money exchanged?

    The official currency for Sweden is the Swedish Krona (SEK). While it seems like exchanging money at the airport or hotel seems like the ideal thing to do, it is best to avoid until the time of dire need since these institutions tend to charge a higher exchange rate.

    Opt for an ATM if possible, but in case you need to exchange in hand, there are several currency bureaus scattered across major cities that can help you out.

    2.. Toast
    Skagen: Another popular dish in Sweden is Toast Skagen – made of peeled prawns, mayonnaise, dill and lemon topped with fish roe and served on bread – available at some top restaurants across the country.

    3. Herring
    : Being a coastal country, Sweden is blessed with bountiful shoals of Herring. Which is why, you may find the Swedes cooking, pickling and smoking these small, yet flavorful fishes.
