Not all wonders are wonderful

by evaanna

Anybody who has been to Scandinavia knows the characteristic black signs against blue or white background (see the picture) by the road. These are supposed to indicate natural or man-made wonders and often do, especially if the name of the attraction is given too. In some cases, however, obeying the sign you take a detour of a few kilometres just to discover the sign pointed to nothing more than a small private zoo or a millstone or something equally uninteresting. If you have a definite plan of your journey don't let these signs seduce you, not too often anyway. Find out about the local attractions in advance - this will help you take your decision.

No elks in Sweden!

by Leipzig

I've been twice to Sweden. Once in 2000 and once in 2003. The first time my friend and I were driving around to see some elks but unsuccessfully. In 2003 we came from Finland and Norway, where we've seen reindeers and elks en masse. But as soon as we crossed the Norwegian-Swedish border all deer disappeared. For the next days no elk and no reindeer was seen. That's why I belive that it is a rumor that elks live in Sweden!!

Abisko's midnight sun, a good advertising argument

by djers64

As soon as you reach the Lappland, you can't avoid to read and hear this : "land of midnight sun". Right, that was one of the things i absolutely wanted to see there. But if you can, avoid to try to see it at Abisko. First, you can't see it if you stay at the station, because of the mountains around. So, you have to take the chairlift to get at the top of Mount Nullja to see it. We tried it : unfortunately, we took it a bit late. We arrived at the top just after the sun was hidden behind a mountain. Actually, you can see it between two mountains, maybe a few minutes. And do you believe that the guy at the cash could tell us it was too late to see it ? Nothing... and what about the price ? ..hum... 170 swedish crowns for each person (about 18,5 euros !!)... just for being as cold as an icecube on your chair lift for about 20 minutes (ask my friend florent... never tell him about it any...

by jonno99

Buying a round of beer can be very dangerous for your bank balance but I hear things are improving. You may hear of the 'before' party and the 'after' party in Sweden. Basically means get some booze down yer neck before you go out, drink a few beers at the expensive nightclub and then go on to some private party to really get stuck in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Also watch out for 'Systembolaget' (literally ‘system company’) is the name of the state monopoly responsible for retailing alcohol. It’s shops - marked with distictive green and yellow signs - are the only outlets allowed to sell spirits, wine and full-strength beer (Class III). Supermarkets and other shops can sell no alcoholic beverage stronger than Class II beer. Systembolaget shops were a shock to me. You collect a little raffle ticket on entry and wait for your...

by Smoking_Yoda

Lummelundagrottan - dripstone caves in Gotland. They are promoted as some great tourist attraction, but in essence they are a boring set of caves, with very unimpressing dripstones. The Challenge tour could be more interedting, but I didn't get a chance to try it out, and its also pricey (400 SEK)

by Weik

Accomodation is VERY expansive in Stockholm. Well if you failed to book anything upon arrival, you can approach the tourist information center in the main train station for help. Take note that they charge you 10% of cost what you booked with them.

by tvdm

Well, the Dala Horse factory is one major trap. It's interesting, but nothing more than a huge showcase to get some money out of tourists who have seen these horses times and times before, but can't believe they're finally at the very place where they come from! By the way: they're called Dala Horses because they come from the Dalarna region; sounds pretty obvious, but I never knew this...

by piak

Personally i dont like the elk safaris which are arranged everywhre in Sweden. Try to find the elks by your self and you get a nice day in the forest. But this is my own opinion. Its difficult to haggle in Sweden, we are not use to it. But you can alwys try.
