Sweden has a mild climate for its location. Temperatures are warmest in July, in the high-10’s. But, the weather is much warmer in the south. February is the coldest month, with temperatures well below -10 degrees Celsius. Snow covers the ground from December to April.

Northern Sweden has continuous sunlight in summer and continuous darkness in the winter. The country sees 55 centimeters of rain annually, with the wettest time being July to September.

Sweden is a relatively safe country to visit. Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing or bag-snatching, is common in crowded places. Travellers should avoid carrying unnecessary valuables with them.

Violent crimes do occasionally occur in large cities. Be cautious whilst travelling and travel with a partner when possible.

Shortly after World War II, Sweden built its first nuclear reactor. It is located 25 metres below the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. This great depth means that phones do not work, but visitors can still take pictures. The Reactor Hall is now a performance hall. Be sure to check for when events will be held there.

Be sure to bring these important items on your trip to Sweden:

  • Umbrella – Sweden can get a fair amount of rain. Bring an umbrella or rain jacket to keep yourself dry during a downpour.
  • Warm Clothing – If you’re visiting in the winter, temperatures can get incredibly cold. Pack warm clothes to layer on top of your kit.
  • Plug Adapters – The power sockets in Sweden are type C and F, meaning an adapter is needed when travelling.

If you are in Sweden and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.
