What is this ‘Fika’ you’re talking about?

The Swedish coffee break is so much more than just drinking coffee.

Fika is a concept, a state of mind, an attitude, and an important part of Swedish culture. Many Swedes consider that it is almost essential to make time for fika every day. It means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a little something to eat.

The word fika actually derives from the 19th-century slang word for coffee, kaffi.

What should I know about Sweden?

There are a few things that are good to know coming to Sweden as a tourist.

Alcohol monopoly
Regular stores hold non or low alcoholic drinks (max 3,5%). If you want something stronger than that you will need to visit Systembolaget. Bars and restaurant often serve alcohol, but you can’t bring it with you to the next place.

Tap water
Sweden is in 12th place when it comes to the best drinking water in the world, with a EPI of 97.9%. We have good standards when it comes to clean water, so please bring a reusable water bottle for your stay.

Tipping is up to you
Some restaurants and bars ask you if you would like to leave a tip, but don’t feel bad if you don’t. There are regulations regarding minimum pay for all workers, so you don’t have to leave a tip – but you can if you want to appreciate the service given.

Non-smoking areas
Smoking is prohibited in restaurants, public indoor spaces and several public outdoor areas! This includes outdoor areas relating to public transport, outdoor serving areas, entrances to premises and indoor spaces that the public have access to. As the first city in Sweden, Malmö has public smoking zones. Equipped with an ashtray, a trash can and in some cases phone charging possibilities (all powered by the solar panels on the bench), they reduce littering in the streets!

Right of public access
We love our lakes, forests and beaches in Sweden – and we love to share them. The right of public access is protected by law, and allows all people in Sweden to roam free in nature. You have the right to walk, cycle, ride, ski and camp on any land with the exception of private gardens, near a dwelling house or land under cultivation. If you’re planning to stay a bit longer before or after the conference, we gladly encourage you to visit nearby woods or beaches.

Do I need to bring an umbrella?

Sweden is not known for it’s warm and mild autumn weather, so be sure to bring an extra sweater and a rain jacket if you plan on going outside during the conference. An umbrella is a good idea as well, but keep in mind that it can be a bit windy here in Malmö.
