Climate and Best Time to Travel

The summer season in Lapland is from mid-June to mid-September. The winter season in Lapland is from February to mid-April.

Water-rich Sweden teems with musquitos. In pharmacies in Sweden you can get excellent products to protect yourself against musquito bites or products you can use after you've been bitten, like "After Bite" with 3,5 percent ammonia.

Money

Compare car rent

In Sweden you'll find ATMs virtually everywhere.

If you know in advance which places you're going to visit, you can find out online if and where there are ATM's where you can use your MasterCard and Cirrus or Visa to withdraw money.

Accomodation

Norway is great for camping, but because the weather isn't always good, you may want to consider staying in cabins part or all of your vacation. You can rent those everywhere, or book in advance. Camping sites usually have a few simple cabins in which you can stay when it rains. In that case you'll have to check in early.

Plan your trip to Sweden online

Through online reservation systems like À la Carte Vacations you can book airline tickets, hotels, rental cars and holiday houses. You can build a fly-drive itinerary with maximum flexibility, book a flight plus a hotel hotel for a night or weekend. Without the limitations of package deals from travel organisations and most times for a much better price.
