Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.02% applies in Sweden. The only sure way to stay legal to drive is to skip the drinks.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The Swedish krona (SEK) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Pay with a debit or credit card when it's possible, and keep some cash handy for places that don't accept electronic payment.
