We loved this experience! We were a group of 15 people, and every detail, the level of attention, and the staff’s willingness to help were excellent. Everything was well organized, with no wasted time. I truly recommend it.

Tour description

Join our 2-hour tour (45 min slow walking) on the main island = the city center of Karlskrona and explore the quirks, habits, flavors, and traditions that define everyday life in Sweden.

From the art of fika and iconic Swedish candy to a fascinating visit to Systembolaget, this tour offers a deliciously honest look at the Swedish way of life. With humor and insight, your guide will tell you about how the Swedish government has monopolized alcohol and earn big bucks from taxes on the sales of “snus” (snuff) and gambling. Learn about the incredible “allemansrätten” (the right to roam”) and lovely Swedish traditions while you enjoy small tastings along the way.

Life in Sweden is perfect for curious travelers who want to understand Swedish culture — and enjoy some of its most beloved treats.
