    Sweden Travel Advice

    Best time to go to Sweden

    The weather in Sweden’s a bit like the UK. It can be very mixed throughout the year, depending on what part of the country you go to, and when. Central and southern areas of Sweden are the most like the UK, with short cold winters and summer temperatures that hover around 25°C. The north of the country is a different story, with quite severe winter seasons, as well as snow on some of the mountains all year-round. The country also has very long hours of daylight in the summer and ultra-long nights in winter.

    Passports & Visas

    British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Sweden but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Sweden using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/sweden/entry-requirements.

    Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

    Health & Safety

    You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Swedish nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit www.nhs.uk/ehic for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/sweden/health
