Scams to watch for in Sweden
- PickpocketingThieves take wallets or other belongings in places used by tourists. Crowds can make a theft harder to notice.
- High taxi faresYou can face a much higher fare if you enter without checking the taxi's prices. The yellow rear-window sign shows a comparison price for a typical 10 km, 15-minute journey. A high fare alone does not prove fraud.
- Poor exchange rates when paying in eurosSome shops accept euros but typically use an unfavourable exchange rate. You may pay more than expected. This is a pricing risk rather than proof of fraud.
