When to go: if planning your trip around Sweden’s weather then be warned that this is not a country offering spectacularly hot temperatures in any of its seasons. The summer months undoubtedly experience the warmest weather (and the most rain) so would be the most favourable if you are planning a holiday that involves getting out and about and sightseeing.

Business needs: Sweden welcomes business visitors provided they go through the correct legal channels and are in possession of the relevant business visa. If you are an EU visitor hoping to do business in Sweden then you will be fortunate enough to be spared some of the red tape that non-EU visitors are required to go through. Swedish business etiquette is strict and puts great emphasis on basics such as punctuality, formal dress and the proper use of titles.
