How much money should I bring I am traveling to Sweden for
two weeks this summer
(Northern) and I will be
staying with people that I
know. I wonder how much things
cost, and how much on average
I will need? Has anyone been
there? Any other tips of
advice would be greatly
appreciated!

If you have a VISA or Mastercard, you will find that it is accepted everywhere and that most Swedes use their cards over cash. You can also get cash from any ATM with your VISA or Mastercard (it's ok if it's a debit card). Just make sure you know the PIN for each card because that's what's used on both debit and credit cards instead of signing for your purchase like in the U.S. Right before I leave, I print up an tiny conversion (dollars to krona and krona to dollars) chart to give me an idea of how much something costs. It's not exact, since the exchange rate changes constantly, but you can at least have an a clue as to what something costs. You might have a currency converter on your phone too. Beware of using a cellphone in a foreign country, it is expensive FAST. Better to contact your cell carrier and make sure it is unlocked and buy a SIM card in Sweden to use while you're there if you need a cell. Everything is more expensive in Sweden but it's not outrageous. I always stay with friends when I visit too and they know where to go for the best prices on things. Your main expenses will be bus/train fare and any eating out you do. Have fun, it's my favorite place to visit! |

How do I travel with my dog to I want to take our dog with me
on our holiday (from Norwich,
England) to Sweden. I was
planning to take him in the
car on the ferry, but they
have now closed down the only
ferry route between England
and Sweden. We've looked into
taking him on the plane, but
it is a can of worms. We can't
figure out how to do it, who
will take him and how the
charges work. Anyone out there
who's taken their dog to
Sweden?

Remember that you can take the animal out of any recognised UK port but bringing them in under the Pets Passport Scheme is must come back into an authorised port that is cleared for Pets Passport. As another poster said why not go via another routing. Taking an animal by is actually very simple once you have worked out how to navigate the regulations. The other downside of moving animals by air can be very very expensive even more than your own air fare. A previous poster touched on what happens when a dog is in the aircraft hold. In theory the dog will sleep as the hold lights have been turned off but, this not always the case. |
