So the long-awaited vacation has come, which you decided to spend abroad. If you are going to visit Sweden, you should know how to behave correctly in this wonderful country.
Instructions
Step 1
The streets of Sweden are kept in perfect order, so do not try to litter and throw garbage in the wrong place. Violation of these rules can result in a serious fine. Also, the norms of nature management have been tightened here, for example, fishing is not allowed everywhere. In lakes such as Vattern, Wenern, Elmaren and Mälaren, you can fish for free. To fish in another body of water, you will have to apply for a special permit at a sports shop or information office. Do not try to fish in a private water body.
Step 2
If you know Swedish or English, or speak at least a little of any of these languages, you should not have any problems and difficulties in communicating with the locals.
Step 3
Sweden has a very strict attitude towards alcoholic beverages. Therefore, you can buy an alcoholic drink (except for low-alcohol beer) only in specialized stores of the state monopoly and at a very high price. If you want to drink on a weekend, you will have to stock up on alcohol in advance, since alcohol is simply not sold from Friday to Sunday. It is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol brought with you in cafes and restaurants; in other public places and on the street, you should not do this either - you face a fine.
Step 4
It is not allowed to cross the boundaries of the reserves without special permission. It is strictly forbidden to walk on personal plots and crops (including regenerative forest plantations), enter the territory of private houses, damage nature and buildings, saw branches and break trees for a fire. You should not drive a car into the forest, and even more so, burn fires and wash cars near water bodies.
Step 5
The roads of Sweden correspond to European quality, they are excellent. Freeways are generally free of charge, with the exception of the Øresund bridge. Right-hand traffic (as in Russia), traffic jams are rare. According to local law, all passengers in the vehicle must be wearing their seat belts, including those in the back seat. For violation of the law - a large fine.
Step 6
Every tourist entering Sweden must have medical insurance for thirty thousand dollars. Please read the insurance conditions carefully before traveling. In the event of an insured event, you must act according to the instructions. Before contacting a doctor, call the phone number listed in the policy. The staff will advise you on how to proceed. If you go to the insurance hospital yourself, the company can no longer guarantee you payments in the event of an incident.
