Traditions, Lifestyle & Habits in Stockholm

Local residents are distinguished by superior knowledge of etiquette. They are very polite and courteous. Punctuality and diligence, thoroughness and accuracy are the main features that describe the local population. Of course, such qualities deserve the highest praise. Residents of Stockholm are very reliable business partners – in work they are as obliging and punctual, as in any other sphere of life. In their work partners and interlocutors they also appreciate, above all, professionalism and education.

When it comes to education, it is worth noting a strong attraction of Swedes to self-education and intellectual development. They often self-study foreign languages and, as a rule, speak at least two of them. In communication the locals are rather restrained, and it’s really hard to make them show their emotions. Diligent attitude of local people is reflected not only in domestic and working issues, but also in public order. The streets here are always distinguished by wonderful purity, and beautiful avenues and parks make tourists simply stop in admiration – they are really well maintained and look stunningly attractive. Guests of the city are also encouraged to keep the streets in order. You should also be careful while selecting your clothes - sloppy appearance may become the cause of bewilderment from the side of local people.
