- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): 450 kr - 550 kr (€40 - €49). Use the official taxi rank outside the terminal. Check the estimated fare posted in the window before getting in, and confirm the price before departure. Decline rides from drivers who approach you inside the terminal without a meter or fixed fare.
- Best alternative: Flygbussarna airport coach to Malmö Central Station (145 kr (€12.84))
- Validate your ticket before boarding by tapping it at the validating machine on the platform or at the bus entrance. Also tap when entering regional trains. Failure to validate counts as travelling without a ticket. Fine without a valid ticket: 1,500 kr (€132.78).
- Tipping is not required in Sweden. Rounding up or leaving 5 to 10 percent for exceptional service in restaurants and for taxi drivers is appreciated but never expected.
- No automatic cover or service charge is added in Swedish restaurants. The listed menu price is the price you pay, and service is normally included. If a menu shows no prices, confirm the cost before ordering.
- Always choose to be charged in SEK and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer bank-attached ATMs over independent machines. Some independent ATMs in central areas charge high fees, so check the on-screen fee before completing a transaction.
