Current Travel Situation
Slovenia to Sweden: What You Need to Know
Sweden is an aspirational destination for Slovenian nature and design enthusiasts. Stockholm's Gamla Stan, the Vasa Museum, and the ABBA Museum are the city-break draws, while Swedish Lapland (Kiruna, Abisko) offers dog-sledding, aurora hunting, and the world-famous ICEHOTEL in winter. Sweden's west coast (Bohuslan archipelago) is stunning in summer for kayaking and seafood. The Oresund region (Malmo, Lund) is easily combined with Copenhagen. Sweden and Slovenia share strong environmental values and a tradition of outdoor recreation.
How to Get There
Stockholm: the Royal Palace and the changing of the guard, Gamla Stan cobblestone streets, the Vasa Museum (the world's only fully intact 17th-century warship), ABBA Museum, Djurgarden island, and Fotografiska (photography museum). Gothenburg: Liseberg (Scandinavia's largest amusement park), Haga neighbourhood, and the west coast seafood (shrimp, crayfish). Swedish Lapland: Kiruna ICEHOTEL (open November-April), Abisko for the best Northern Lights visibility in Sweden, and Sami cultural tours. Midsommar (late June): a uniquely Swedish celebration of the summer solstice.
Money & Banking
Sweden uses the Swedish krona (SEK). As of 2025, EUR 1 is approximately SEK 11.3. Sweden is expensive; a mid-range Stockholm restaurant meal costs SEK 200-350 (EUR 18-31). Sweden is nearly cashless; mobile (Swish) and card payments are universal. Systembolaget (state alcohol monopoly) is the only place to buy wine and spirits to go.
Practical Tips
Ljubljana Airport connects to Stockholm Arlanda via Vienna, Copenhagen, or Amsterdam. SAS and Scandinavian budget carriers operate the route. The Oresund Bridge links Malmo (South Sweden) to Copenhagen, making a Scandinavian overland trip from Denmark into Sweden feasible by rental car or train.
