Sweden Travel Guide - Travel Insights and Tips

In line with Bookmundi’s vision, we wish to provide our travelers with a sustainable travel experience through Sweden. As part of this effort, we carbon offset any Sweden tour that you purchase through us. You can read more details about our carbon offsetting program.

Here’s what you can do to travel to Sweden more responsibly:

• When traveling to Sweden, choose airlines with carbon offset programs, like Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). Additionally, explore Sweden's efficient public transportation system, which includes electric trains and buses.
• If you have purchased your tour through Bookmundi, we will carbon offset your tour from its starting point to its ending point.
• Contribute to organizations like the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) or the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Sweden. These non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are dedicated to conserving Sweden's distinctive natural habitats and advocating for sustainable tourism practices.
• Choose eco-friendly accommodations that are part of Sweden's sustainability initiatives. Look for hotels and lodges with recognized eco-certifications like the Nordic Swan Ecolabel or Green Key, which promote energy efficiency and responsible waste management.
• Enjoy traditional Swedish cuisine while supporting restaurants that focus on locally sourced, organic, and sustainably harvested ingredients. Sweden has a growing farm-to-table movement, and embracing it can reduce the carbon footprint of your meals.

• Embrace the Swedish tradition of fika, a coffee break often accompanied by pastries or sweets. It's a social and cultural activity, so make sure to indulge in this delightful experience.
• Sweden is home to many world-class museums and attractions. Research opening hours and consider purchasing city cards or museum passes for discounts and convenience.
  
• There is a well-developed public transportation network in Sweden that consists of trains, buses, trams, and ferries. For convenience and financial benefits, think about getting a travel pass or an SL Access card. In Stockholm, the city's metro system is a work of art in itself and worth exploring.
  
• Most shops in Sweden, except for large department stores, close early on Saturdays and are often closed on Sundays. Plan your shopping accordingly.
  
• Respect Swedish customs, like removing shoes when entering homes. Swedes value personal space, so maintain a respectful distance, especially in queues and public places.
