Rules in force · 11Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…Gamla Stan is cobbled, steep in places and closed to most…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
  • Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
  • Sweden ↗Sweden is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border.
  • Sweden ↗Many shops, cafés, buses and even toilets do not accept cash: bring a card that works with PIN and contactless.
  • Sweden ↗The right of public access (allemansrätten) lets you walk and camp for a night on most land; keep away from homes and leave no trace.
  • Sweden ↗Drinks stronger than light beer are sold only at the state Systembolaget shops, which close in the evenings and on Sundays.
  • Stockholm and the Archipelago ↗Archipelago ferries run on seasonal timetables and fewer sailings in winter: check the last boat back before you set out.
  • Stockholm ↗Gamla Stan is cobbled, steep in places and closed to most traffic: large suitcases go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
  • Stockholm ↗Many cafés, shops, buses and even public toilets take cards or phone payment only: carry a bank card and do not rely on cash.
