Planning Your Sweden Budget
Sweden is one of Europe’s most expensive countries - there’s no getting around it.

- Uppsala: University town with reasonable prices.
- Swedish Lapland: Tourism prices in ski resorts, but budget options exist.
- Islands (Gotland, Öland): Summer peak prices, affordable shoulder seasons.
