Well not me but my wife is going on a Scandanavian tour + Finland from Korea next week. Is there anything she should know about before going. I’ve been to Europe myself a few times but not the northern part and I’m just worried bout her even though it is relatively safe up there.
That said, anything she should know good or bad? local customs? warnings? tourist traps?

jtcwpouAvoid smaller cab companies especially at airports and train stations

jteygt4To clarify, it’s legal to charge what you want for a taxi ride, as long as you display the price on the yellow sticker on the right rear window. Learn how to read those and what’s a good price and you can take most cabs.
There are also cab companies that have cars and names very similar to the “big brand” companies. Be alert.

jtdbgvwThis is important. This is most likely one of the most common scams that tourists encounter.

jtfgz3xThis is VERY important OP - in Sweden, there are a few taxi scams going on at the airport. Look at the rear window on Taxi’s they are forced by law to type the average price per kilometer.
If this numer is anything but 300-700 swedish crowns …then something is wrong.
It’s not a scam, technically, it’s just that certain taxis ramp up their kilometer price to several thousands. Quite unethical, but not illegal - unfortunately.

jtcxyjgCan’t stress this enough, stick to the main company’s (taxi Stockholm, kurir).

jtde2pzYou do know that those are only big in Stockholm right? On Gotland we NEVER use your taxis because they charge ridiculously high. We use Taxi Gotland or virtually any other companies that aren’t Swedish.

jtdhvmpNo, stick to Uber as a tourist. You cannot get scammed, they are way nicer, and you will pay less.

jtdqqtuUber is far from widely available, at least in Sweden.

jteabufWhere I live it’s not uncommon for uber drivers to take the ride, deny it, call you and tell you they’ll drive you for above what uber said the price would be.

jtcxqdmUber is perfectly safe.

jtd4ty7Beställde uber en gång. Chauffören dök upp en timme sent och när han väl hade dykt upp ville han att vi skulle betala honom extra i kontanter för att åka med

jtd9bnoHur är det ens möjligt, avbryt och beställ en till om den inte dyker upp.

jtd1wsfUber is not a small company.

jtfeodjOr take a min to learn about commuter trains and busses. Sweden is not as good as seoul but its good enough in Stockholm/arlanda area. taxi in sweden is way overpriced.
