When to visit Sweden

The best times to visit Sweden are during high season (mid-June to August) and low season (November-May). High season is when you can enjoy warm weather and most of the sights and accommodations are open. Low season is the best season for winter activities, the holiday markets, and the stunning Northern Lights.

You and other Australians can fly to Sweden and tour the country visa-free for up to 90 days, because it’s part of the Schengen Convention. Be sure that your passport is valid for at least six months when you fly back to Australia. Check out Smartraveller for more info.
