Sweden - What to Pack - Clothing and Supplies Tips

Sweden is a very popular vacation spot for tourists and sightseers. However, it's important to pack the right equipment to anticipate the differences in climate and temperature.

If you're traveling during the winter, you'll definitely need a big furry hat and gloves. Temperatures can reach below 20 degrees Celsius, so be sure to use plenty of layers. Stockholm is cold just about all of the time. No matter the season, always bring a jacket or sweater. You should certainly consider thermals, stout waterproof boots preferably with thermal insoles, and a fleece mountain coat.

Don't forget your umbrella, because rain showers are very common. There is no special rainy season; even in the summer you may experience surprise downpours. Wind is also quite common, and will turn even the sunniest of days very chilly. Be sure to bring some windproof clothing as well, in order to prevent sudden chills.
