- Tipping is not required in Stockholm. Rounding up the bill or leaving about 10 percent in restaurants for good service is appreciated but optional. Taxi drivers and tour guides do not expect tips.
- Service charges are included in menu prices in Sweden by law. There is no cover charge or bread fee at standard Stockholm restaurants. Any extra charge shown on the bill must have been disclosed on the menu. Be wary only of tourist-area spots without displayed prices.
- Always choose to be charged in Swedish kronor (SEK) and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer ATMs attached to major banks. Independent ATMs in tourist areas often carry high withdrawal fees.
