Sweden still has a monarchy, but it’s a parliamentary one. Sweden’s roots come from the Vikings. People in Sweden are mostly protestant-evangelic (55%) and Muslims (5%). Sweden has a history of neutrality for over 200 years. A highlight is the yearly „Midsommar“ in June. It’s also famous for „Fika“, a daily coffee break with sweets, at home or at work with your co-workers.
You don’t need any special vaccionations to travel to Sweden. A vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is recommended.

Other citizens have to apply for a visa at their embassy or consulate before their departure.
