Safety & etiquette
Stockholm runs on unwritten social rules. Knowing them makes the city easier to read, from the escalator to the restaurant queue.
Going cashless
Stockholm is one of the world’s most cashless cities. Some places no longer accept physical currency at all, including small kiosks and market stalls.

Swedish law lets you walk, swim, pick berries, and camp on private land. Understanding where that right begins and ends saves confusion in the countryside.
