Brief Summer Hours
The school summer break in Sweden spans ten weeks, starting the week before midsummer and concluding in mid-August, eight weeks after that. This extended vacation prompts many businesses to close, allowing them to bask in the abundant daylight of the Swedish summer.
Thanks to this extended hiatus, restaurants tend to shut down during July and August. It's essential to be aware of this when planning your summer getaway. Visitors should also note that most shops close at 5 pm on Saturdays, and on Sundays, they remain completely closed. Swedes are dedicated to achieving a harmonious work-life balance.
