Practical information : Take a break Sweden
Timetable
Most cafes open around 9am and close between 4pm and 6pm. For bars, opening around noon and closing at midnight or 1am.
Budget & Tips
Count between 2,50 and 3 euros for a simple coffee, from 5 euros for pints. Happy hours are not common in Sweden, but there are a few bars where they exist. If they do, the hours are usually indicated outside the bar, on a small sign, or highlighted on their website or Facebook page.
Age restrictions
You must be at least 18 years old to order alcohol in a bar.
Kids
Children are welcome everywhere in Sweden, and it is usually no problem to bring them with you to a place that serves alcohol (of course, no alcohol will be served). In restaurants, there are often special chairs for toddlers, and sometimes a special children's menu.
Smokers
It is not a good life for smokers in Sweden. Although tobacco is relatively cheap, smoking is not allowed in public spaces, either indoors or outdoors! So forget about smoking on the terrace of bars or cafes. If you want to smoke, you will have to leave your table and go to the smoking area (if there is one), or simply go to the sidewalk in front of you. No exception is made for electronic cigarettes.
