Respect & manners
- Sweden is almost cashless: bring a bank card.
- Queue with a ticket number in many shops and pharmacies: take one at the entrance.
- Take your shoes off when you enter a home.
- Tipping is not expected; rounding up is a nice extra.
- Alcohol stronger than 3.5% is sold only in Systembolaget shops.
- Fika (coffee and a pastry break) is sacred: join in!
