Have you heard ever that Sweden and cheap go along together? No, right? Because travelling to Sweden on a certain budget seems to be very difficult. Visiting Sweden just for one time is enough for the traveller to spend large bills on hotels, travel, and food if they do not pay attention to it. Compared to various other European countries, Sweden is relatively expensive. Innumerable factors contribute and make travelling and staying in Sweden expensive. But it still depends on the travellers’ location and how long will they stay there. For all the travel enthusiasts even for the low-budgeters, Sweden is worth exploring. This beautiful Scandinavian country offers multiple medieval cities, beautiful islands, castles, Northern Lights, incredible art, hiking opportunities, and many more. Various travel agencies have curated multiple pocket-friendly packages where you can enjoy them to the fullest by being within your budget. This blog comprises of few tips which travellers can utilize to spend a good time in Sweden.
Consider less-travelled airports
Sweden’s biggest hub and also the entry port of various international travellers, Arlanda Airport offers travellers a sense of convenience as well as cost. But travellers may find multiple other alternatives to this airport too. Through this, travellers may need not to spend much time and money on the airport and plane tickets. This airport opens up the entry of multiple attractions of this Scandinavian country such as Northern Lights, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Abisko, Helsingborg, and much more.
Travel during shoulder season
If you want to spend less on your travel to Sweden, then travelling during the shoulder season is the best and most flexible option. The best time to visit this country of Northern Lights is from June to August. It is because this is the summer season here and many attractions are open up during this time. You can be able to experience multiple natural phenomena such as Northern Lights. But if the plans of the travellers are more general, then travellers can also plan their visit from September to mid-October. At this time also, travellers may find good and decent weather along with lower prices.
Joining membership programs with travel agencies
The Swedish Tourist Association operates approx 250 diverse hotels, hostels, guest houses, cabins, and mountain stations across the country. As a result, planning the visit to Sweden will be quite easy and accessible. But if you want to stay at multiple STF properties, then joining any sort of organization is worth it. They provide memberships to travellers that they can easily accommodate at the lowest prices. This can be joined in advance or while visiting the first STF property. Multiple Swedish Hostels are not the STF part but provide accommodation at very fewer prices.
Saving on travelling through trains
There are many ways to explore Sweden country, but the train system seems to be very appealing as well as cost-effective. The train network over there is very extensive, effective, comfortable, and very reasonable. Train tickets can be brought at the last minute, even for longer journeys. However, booking in advance will save more money which is especially during long journeys. The tickets are always available online as well as can be availed on stations.
Buying a transit pass for the city
If you are a traveller who is looking to use urban and regional public transportation to explore Sweden and you are on a long trip, then make the best use of money and utilize single-use travel. It is highly useful in buses, metro, commuter trains, and passenger ferries. This travel can make your travel approx 24 to 72 hours on single use. You can also take use of 20 kronor for reusable card access which can also open a wide range of travel.
