Sweden is a beautiful Scandinavian country, epitomizing the north of Europe in all its glory. It is famous for abundant forests, lakes, the Vikings, delicious meatballs, IKEA furniture - and is also the home of Spotify. It boasts a rich history and vibrant nightlife. Oh, and let's not forget snow - lots of snow. All of this - and many more things you'll discover on the way - make it well worth exploring. If you genuinely want to enjoy your time there, make sure you organize your travel - affordable flights included - in advance.

The same applies to trains. They are the perfect mode of transportation to get you from Stockholm to Gothenburg - or from the southernmost tip to the coldest north of the country. They do, however, need to be booked in advance as prices tend to vary - depending on your destination as well as the time you purchase them. The closer you are to the departure date, the more expensive the train tickets are likely to be. The best way to get everything sorted is through SJ - Trains in Sweden. Fast, reliable, and easy to use will solve all your problems in a jiffy.

Speaking of purchases, you should also bear in mind that your dollars or euros won't cut it in Sweden. Yes, this country still sticks to its currency - the Swedish krona. It's been around since 1873, so why change it now? To know how much you're spending, you should know the exchange rate. Fortunately, it doesn't vary, so doing your calculus will be easy. This will help you stick to your budget while still exploring the world at your leisure. It is what any responsible adventurer would do.
