To estimate the cost of a vacation in Stockholm, it's essential to create a rough list of expected expenses.
The necessary expenses include:
If you have a limited budget, consider skipping excursions. You can explore the city independently by purchasing a map in Russian in advance, either in your home country or in Sweden.
Shopping is optional, but a vacation in Stockholm often includes some shopping, as reviews suggest. At the very least, you might want to bring back souvenirs. Keep in mind that even a basic souvenir like a magnet can cost around 44 SEK, and postcards typically start at 9 SEK. When you add it all up, you can get a rough estimate of the total cost.
IMPORTANT: In Stockholm, you can find everything you need, from newspapers and cigarettes to bus passes and coffee, at 24-hour 7-Eleven kiosks.
When planning a vacation in Stockholm, where prices are relatively high, keep in mind that payments are primarily made in Swedish krona, although the Euro currency is also accepted. It's preferable to use credit cards instead of cash for transactions. For the best currency exchange rates, avoid banks, which often offer less favorable rates, and opt for money exchangers, such as FOREX exchange offices at airports.
