If you are a national of Lithuania you travel under EU/EEA free-movement rules: you can visit Sweden without a visa and stay for more than 90 days, registering with the local authorities if you stay longer. Unlike most other visitors you are not counted against the Schengen 90-in-180-day limit, and a national identity card or passport is accepted at the border. These rules were re-verified on 2026-09-12 against official Sweden and EU sources.
Planning your trip to Sweden
Practical notes about Sweden — checked as part of this page for tourism travellers.
Getting around Sweden
Sweden's rail network (SJ) is punctual and green: the high-speed link Stockholm–Gothenburg takes about 3 hours, and overnight trains reach Swedish Lapland in the far north (Umeå, Luleå, Norrland). From Copenhagen Airport across the Öresund Bridge, the train reaches Malmö in about 30 minutes.
In Stockholm, the Tunnelbana (metro) covers the city well, and the archipelagos of islands are served by ferries from the centre. Driving is on the right, tolls (Stockholm and Gothenburg congestion) are automatic by plate, and the Arctic roads (Riksväg 90, E4) demand winter tyres between November and April.
When to visit Sweden
May to August is the most popular season: white nights, long daylight, the archipelagos, and the Midsummer festival (around the third week of June), Sweden's great celebration. September brings autumnal colours and quieter cities. Winter (December–March) is dark but magical, with Christmas markets in Stockholm and northern lights in Swedish Lapland (Abisko is famous for clear skies).
For the aurora, visit Abisko or Kiruna between September and March on dark, clear nights. Sweden's weather is variable, so pack layers even in summer.
Eating and drinking
Swedish food moves from tradition to modern Neo-Nordic: herring (sill) in sour cream and dill at midsummer, meatballs with lingonberry jam and cream sauce, crayfish parties (kräftskiva) in August, and the classic fika — coffee and cinnamon buns — as a twice-daily ritual.
The "smörgåsbord" (buffet) and new Nordic restaurants in Stockholm and Gothenburg showcase the country's produce. Beer and snaps (aquavit) accompany toasts at traditional meals. Tipping is not required — service charges are included — but rounding up or leaving 5–10% for table service is appreciated.
Money and local customs
Sweden uses the krona (SEK), and it is largely a cashless society: cards (with contactless) and the Swish mobile payment app are accepted everywhere, with some cafés and kiosks no longer taking cash at all.
Swedes value equality, punctuality and personal space. Greeting with "hej" and using first names (even in formal settings) is normal. The right to roam ("allemansrätten") allows camping on uncultivated land with respect for privacy. Keep your passport at hand for accommodation registration, and quiet moments of silence in conversation are perfectly normal.
