Suède : When to go ?

Apart from the pictures, Sweden reserves many surprises! While the traveller who came to Stockholm, after flying through his patchwork of floating islands, his eyes are very happy with the architecture of the capital and the talent of Swedish designers. Then, these are the sunny beaches of Skåne, the tranquil plains of Dalecarlia, the warm Malmö arteries in the summer or the medieval streets of Kalmar, which add their charming touch to the table. But we should not forget the northern lands, including the famous Lapland. Although often feared, winter is in Lapland a wonderful season to venture to the Swedes and Sámi, the people of the North. The hunt of the polar aurores then beats its full! To discover all the facets of this multiple Sweden, nothing like a trip organised by a local agency!

Above all, wait for high prices for hotel accommodation (hence our clear preference for camping and youth hostels) for some food products (Ah, 20 SEK bread stick) and for alcoholic beverages for example. Generally speaking, prices are between 10 and 20% higher than those in France (subject to currency variations and exceptions on certain local products of course).FormalitésAn identity card or passport is sufficient for European Union nationals.

Spoken languages

Swedish is spoken throughout the territory, with great differences in focus from north to south, but there are no different dialects. In Lapland, Sámi speak their own language, but you only hear rarely (they are only 17 000 in Sweden and travel much of the year with their reindeer herds). English is widely spoken, by everyone and often very well. You can even spend years in Sweden without knowing the language, only using English. German (especially), French (a little) and Spanish (rarely) are also spoken.Learning language: There are different ways to learn a few basics of language and the offer for self-learning can be done on different media (CD, DVD, exercise book or even directly on the Internet).

Currency

The currency unit is the crown divided into 100 öre. The crown is written as "? kr ?" or "? Sek ?" in the shops. For international banks and exchanges, the abbreviation is SEK. Banknotes are 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1 000 crowns. The coins are 50 ? öre, 1, 5 or 10 COURONNES crowns ?; the latter are the effigy of the king or engraved by the royal crown.

Weather

Thanks to the Gulf Stream, which heats the Norwegian coastline, Sweden enjoys a temperate continental climate despite its latitude. The longest days are in June but July is the warmer month of the year, so this period is ideal to leave. Summer temperatures vary between 16 ° C in Skåne and 12 ° C in Lapland, which allows swimming in the lakes and Baltic Sea, but of course the higher the North and the higher the temperature of the water. Starting in mid-August, there is usually an increase in rainfall and a decrease in temperatures.To visit Sweden in its winter coat, it is advisable to travel in March because the days are longer and the temperatures are warmer. In winter, low temperatures are expected, usually between 5 ° C and -10 ° C in the southern half of the country, and between -10 ° C and -30 ° C in the northern half. A subarctic climate reigns in Swedish territory, which lies beyond the polar circle.The sun plays an important role in this great range of temperatures, because Sweden is relatively close to Arctic regions, which causes a strong climate contrast. Summer as winter, there are interesting seasonal features, between the midnight sun in the north and the white nights in the south. Each season offers treasures of nature to discover!
