Reise-FAQ zu Stockholm
Do I need a visa for Sweden?
No visa for US/UK/EU/Canada/Australia/NZ/Japan/Korea/UAE/most Latin America up to 90 days in the Schengen area. From late 2026 non-EU visa-exempt travellers need ETIAS (€7, 3-year, apply at travel-europe.europa.eu). Others use Schengen visa — Swedish consulate or VFS Global.

Is Stockholm good for families?
Excellent — Gröna Lund amusement park, Skansen open-air (Nordic animals + heritage buildings), Vasa Museum (warship raised whole), Junibacken (Pippi Longstocking + Astrid Lindgren), Aquaria Water Museum, ABBA Museum (kids love the studio).
