eSIM Travel Tips for Sweden
Sweden is outside the EU for UK roaming purposes
Sweden is in the EU but UK networks charge daily roaming fees in Sweden following Brexit. EE, Vodafone UK, O2, and Three UK charge for Swedish data. A HelloRoam eSIM from £1.95 avoids these daily charges.
Stockholm Archipelago and ferry coverage
The Stockholm Archipelago has good 4G coverage on main islands like Vaxholm, Värmdö, and Lidingö. More remote outer archipelago islands have weaker signal on island interiors. Download offline maps of your archipelago route before the ferry.
Swedish Lapland and Northern Lights
Kiruna and Abisko are the prime Northern Lights destinations for British visitors. Kiruna town has 4G coverage. Abisko National Park has some signal near the tourist station. Remote wilderness beyond the station has very limited coverage. Download your aurora tracking apps before heading out.
Currency in Sweden
Sweden uses the Swedish krona (SEK). Current exchange rates are roughly £1 to 13.50-14.00 SEK. Sweden is expensive by UK standards, Stockholm dining and accommodation costs are comparable to London. Your HelloRoam eSIM gives you one predictable cost in an otherwise pricey destination.
Sustainability and connectivity in Sweden
Sweden is a world leader in sustainability and many visitors explore the country by train. Sweden's excellent rail network connects Stockholm to Gothenburg and Malmö with reliable 4G signal along most routes. Download offline content for tunnels and bridge crossings.
Mobile networks in Sweden: what British travellers need to know
Sweden's main mobile operators are Telia, Tele2, Telenor Sweden, and Three Sweden. HelloRoam connects on Three (3) and Telia.

Best time to visit Sweden from the UK
Sweden has striking seasonal contrasts. Summer (June to August) offers the midnight sun in Lapland, warm Stockholm days at 22°C to 28°C, and the famous Swedish archipelago at its best. Autumn (September to October) brings beautiful foliage and comfortable temperatures. Winter (November to March) is prime Northern Lights season in Lapland at minus 15°C to minus 25°C. Stockholm at Christmas (December) is magical with markets and festive lights. Spring (April to May) sees long evenings returning and Lapland snow activities still possible.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
