Preparing for your trip to Stockholm / Sweden

Stockholm is like no other city, it combines urban buzz with huge parks and clean swimmable water. We are pretty sure you will love your time here, and hope that you will have the chance to arrive early, to explore the city. Despite being the largest city in Scandinavia, Stockholm conveys a small-town feeling.

Your trip to Stockholm, Sweden 

  • You will fly into either Arlanda or Skavsta airport.
  • If you are bringing medications, check the requirements prior to the border crossing.
