We are not social creatures. We dont do small talk outside our tightknit social groups. If you talk to us, we will assume something is wrong with you.
Best regards

That’s amazing because I am not social either. I don’t talk to anyone, really.

Since you are a tourist we will help you though so don’t think we’ll look at you funny if you ask us something

No, its not. Sweden is much more extreme than most Swedes relize. But people think it is like that everywhere.
Sure, as a tourist from another western country it´s not a hugh diffrence for a short stay. But in international comparisons we always come out as extreme individualistic, secular with very strong confidence in the state.
Dont kid yourself that Sweden is “what you are used to elsewhere”. We tend to be of the the extreme part of the spectrum in a lot of parameters. Never in the middle.

Never ever sit next to a person in a bus

I sat next to someone on a bench, and he looked at me like I’m crazy. Thanks for letting me know

It’s acceptable if there are no other seats.

When in a lift, don’t speak to anyone or try to make eye contact. Hell, don’t even breathe!

If people start mentioning miles, bear in mind that a swedish mile is 10 kilometers.

Visit places other than the cities too. Discover small town Sweden because it’s quite different from Stockholm

After going to the two pizzerias, what is there to discover? :)

The local nature reserve, maybe the nearby runestone or abandoned iron ore mine. Take a ride on the steam train. Have an ice cream etc

You pay for everything with debit/credit cards or similar. Don’t waste your time and money on getting cash.
Follow the lines, and I’m serious about that. 😀 Hope you have a great trip 👍🏼

Visa and/or mastercard is king.
Pretty much no cash what so ever.
In most cities you can just wave your card at the card reader in buses, trams, commuter trains, subway etc and it charges the 39kr or something automatically if you have contactless payments-enabled card and the service is enabled (contact your bank and say you want it enabled if possible), also contact them to make sure your card is opened up for purchases from sweden.
Apple pay / google wallet are also supported on those (i often just unlock and wave my phone at them.

A work visit to Malmö?

alcohol is insanely expensive and can only be bought at systembolaget.
As tempted as you might be, Swedes are not much for small talk with strangers so please dont try and strike up a conversation with your seat neighbour on the train or bus
