A practical checklist makes it easier to prepare for Sweden, whether you are visiting Stockholm, traveling through several regions or heading north for an outdoor trip.
Before You Leave
- Check passport validity and entry requirements.
- Check whether you need a Schengen visa.
- Keep digital and printed copies of important documents.
- Book accommodation and major activities where necessary.
- Arrange appropriate travel insurance.
- Check train, bus and ferry schedules.
Visa and Entry
Sweden is part of the Schengen Area. Travelers who need a visa should check current Swedish government information for the applicable requirements.
Money
Sweden uses the Swedish krona (SEK). Carry a payment card and check foreign transaction fees with your bank.
Transport
Save important train and regional transport information offline. For remote areas, check connections in advance.

Outdoor Safety
Check weather and local conditions before hiking, boating or visiting remote areas. Follow local guidance and respect nature.
Nature Etiquette
Sweden’s Right of Public Access comes with responsibilities. Avoid disturbing wildlife, respect private areas and leave nature clean.
