What to expect when you are invited to a party in Sweden?

Are you new in Sweden and just got invited to a Swedish party? Here are some guidelines to blend in perfectly!

 1.     Be on time

Punctuality is important when you move to the cold Scandinavia. If a party starts at 20.00 pm then you`d better arrive at 20.00 pm!

 2.     Shoes off & Greeting

You just entered your friend`s place, and you are noticing that everyone is taking off their shoes? I know, it is a weird habit… but that`s how it is done here- Swedes just don't wear shoes indoors! So just make sure your sock doesn`t have a hole! :D Be also prepared that it is quite common to hug your host in Sweden, actually, it is more common than shaking hands.

 3.     BYOB - Bring your own booze

It is quite common – especially among students – to organise a BYOB party (this way the host won`t go bankrupt due to the high alcohol prices). As the liquor store – known as Systembolaget - closes at 3 pm even on Saturday, and there is nowhere else to buy alcohol after this time you`d better plan ahead and purchase your drink.

Don`t forget your ID: until u look like someone over 30, the employees are obligated to ask for it. It is legal to drink when you are over 18, but to buy alcohol is only allowed over the age of 20.

4.     Pre-drinking party

As I just mentioned, alcohol prices are very high in Scandinavia. That`s why it is quite common to drink some alcohol at one of your friend`s places before hitting the clubs. Prices in Systembolaget are expensive but it`s even more expensive to buy alcohol in the clubs!

5.     The snack issue

There is one rule when it comes to the food - don't touch the last piece of snack! Swedes are polite and they don`t want to be seen to be greedy… Therefore, that last piece of cookie might lay on that plate for hours without anyone even thinking about eating it!

 6.     Clubs

Here is one tip to save money: often when you sign up for a guest list you can get a free or discounted entrance – so make sure to do that, otherwise, it get’s a lot more expensive (easily 100 to 300 Sek). When you are already inside, make sure you behave. Clubs in Sweden always have guards (Ordningsväkt) who will kick you out if you cause any trouble.  

7. Party Boats

Another way to save money is to go on a party cruise and consume some duty-free alcohol. This is quite common in Sweden, there is even a story about a man who actually moved into one of the cabins permanently. He slept there, ate in the restaurants and had the time of his life... He made money on selling the duty-free alcohols in the ports (illegally) during the embarking.

Tickets for a one night cruise are usually available from 100 SEK at Vikingline or Birka Cruises.

8.     Closing time

And here is something I find pretty weird about the Swedish nightlife – clubs and pubs close around 2 – 3 am. This is pretty weird, considering that the party usually doesn`t start until midnight.

 Did you notice anything else what you consider weird when it comes to partying? What are your experiences?
