Why travel to Sweden?
Sweden offers 3 curated city guides, 24 attractions and 21 signature dishes hand-picked by Korean travelers. Below you'll find essentials Korean passport holders actually need — visa requirements, daily budgets in USD, best season, and on-the-ground transport tips.
Best Season
May to September is the best time to visit. During the midnight sun season in June and July, daylight lasts until around 23:00 — perfect for sightseeing.
Budget
Daily budget around $130-230 (lodging $70-130; food $30-55; transport and entry fees $20-35).
Visa
Korean passport holders can enter the Schengen Area visa-free for up to 90 days.
Transport
From Arlanda Airport, the Arlanda Express reaches Stockholm Central in about 20 minutes. Around the city, use the T-bana metro, buses, and ferries — the SL travel card is recommended. Prepaid SIMs are available at the airport (Telia, Comviq, etc., about SEK 100-200/EUR 9-18 per week). Sweden is nearly cashless — card and mobile payments are the norm. Service is included in restaurant bills; additional tipping of 5-10% is common but not required.
