To be booked
For guided city tours (Ingmar Bergman, gastronomic walks, etc.) it is recommended, if not imperative, to book in advance. For museum tours, it's possible to make last-minute arrangements during your visit. That said, museum tours often have fixed times, so check online.
Budget & Tips
Since January 2023, an annual pass for 140 SEK has been available for the national museums of world cultures: the Ethnographic Museum, the Museum of Mediterranean Antiquities, the Östasiatiska Museet and the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg.
For paying museums, prices vary between 100 and 150 SEK (adult price). Most paying museums are free for under-18s and under-19s, and offer discounts for students and senior citizens. Some of these museums have free permanent collections, but charge for temporary exhibitions.

Summer also offers a whole series of music and cultural festivals.
