Well not me but my wife is going on a Scandanavian tour + Finland from Korea next week. Is there anything she should know about before going. I’ve been to Europe myself a few times but not the northern part and I’m just worried bout her even though it is relatively safe up there.
That said, anything she should know good or bad? local customs? warnings? tourist traps?

jtcw9e2But I feel like this is a bit exaggerated. While what he says is true, I feel like it is mostly how we treat each other in day to day life.
In my experience we do not frown or get annoyed when/if a tourist does it, but we might be a bit caught off guard.
What I’ve heard and read though is that it is very hard to make friends when travelling from abroad, since Swedes are generally very locked in with their current friend-group.
I honestly can’t see much going wrong, especially travelling in a tourist group. I would say that the worst thing you probably will be exposed to is that most of the touristy-areas upscale their prices. No Swede, or at least very few, would actually buy anything in these areas unless necessary. But the prices are generally displayed so there will not be a surprise charge.
