I figured the best way to get this info would be to ask the locals, any help is appreciated.

I'm planning on arriving around 10am in Stockholm, sightseeing for most of the day, then going by train to visit my friend who lives a 3h long ride away. I'll stay over in his house, so I don't need to include housing costs. I'll most likely spend 2-3 nights there and go back to Poland.

Approximately how much will I need if I want to go to 1-2 mid range restaurants, do a bit of sightseeing in Stockholm, try out some of the local beer and buy relatively basic groceries? Assume that I might need to buy 2-4 train tickes for a ~3h long ride, use the public transport quite a bit and visit a bar or two

By going all out, you mean the most expensive restaurants, alcohol, etc?

No, I just had fun and didn't look at my bank account. I did however spend about 1700$ on just shopping alone. You can get some really good discounts this time of year.

Ate out yesterday with my SO, we bought 6 ”tapas” meals. It all went for 700kr for us both, so 350per person. This was without any drinks, i just got a coke.

In most western countries I expect to spend the equivalent of 800 SEK per day per person. This applies to when I'm in Stockholm as well.

Do you mean in cash?

Because I think most of those expenses can just be bought by card, so you don’t need to worry about carrying cash.

Depending on what you want to do while sightseeing, I don’t see how this would cost anywhere over 5000kr, and that’s just if the train tickets are expensive or the restaurants pricy.

No way you would be able to answer the same question for a visting tourist to Warszawa.

I'd be able to give a safe estimate quite easily, especially if I lived in Warsaw. As long as someone lives in a similarly expensive city and goes out from time to time it's not too hard

Not cheaper, better food maybe but definitely not cheaper.

I think around 3000 sek would make you comfortable. Bars and restaurants in the inner city are expensive. If you wanna try cheap alternatives for bars i would suggest Fridhemsplan, just a few minutes from city with the subway.

20 to 30% more than you would need in Warsaw

Can't you just use your card? Many places won't even take cash

Beautiful_Elevator34 at 2023-07-05 13:06:42+00:00 ID: jqr3bv6


Yes, cash is pretty much useless in Sweden.

I don't even know what our bills looks like. I would never accept cash for anything.

I just recently started working at a store and I am actually surprised by the amount of customers that pay with cash. I would never pay cash myself or accept it if i had my own business. My guess is that people use it at that store because its one of very few stores that actually accepts cash. Although I think most restaurants and trains don't accept cash, so it would be useless for OP.

In sweden: Restaurants: 1,5× more expensive. Transport: 2,5× more expensive. Food from store: 1,3× more expensive. Alcohol: 2× more expensive. Museeums: 2× more expensive.

Based on my visit to Gdańsk recently, where 1 złoty was around 2,6 sek

Also notice you can only buy alcohol above 3,5% alc from Systembolaget which have special opening times

Wait can't you buy alkohol from bars and restaurants?

Maybe 500-750 zloty?
