 The new edition launched aboard the Götheborg ship and features local icons like Avenyn, Slottsskogen, and Feskekörka.

But with only 40 spaces… not every neighborhood made the cut.

👀 No Högsbo, Angered, or Mölndal - yet?

💬 What place you would have added? Let’s make the ultimate local expansion pack in the comments.

Picking up prescription meds in Sweden? Here’s how it works 🇸🇪💊

📲 Prescriptions are linked to your personnummer (Swedish ID number) - no paper scripts needed.
 🧑‍💻 You can log in with BankID and order online – for delivery or pickup.
 📦 When picking up in person, you don’t go to the regular cashier - you take a number and wait at the prescription desk.
 ☝️ If you ordered online, some pharmacies let you pick up at the regular counter, others still require a queue ticket - it depends on the place.

Honestly? It’s super smooth - this video is 22 seconds, and the whole interaction took under 5 minutes.
 And no awkward “trying to pronounce your meds out loud” moments 😅

🦌 The moose might be red-listed?!

Sweden’s moose population has dropped by 20% since 2004. Now, for the first time, it’s expected to be added to the national red list, meaning it’s officially at risk.

Experts say it’s mainly due to hunting, and the population could bounce back fast if the pressure is reduced.

But it’s not just about moose. This year, 228 new species might be added to Sweden’s red list - including fish, insects, and the Baltic Sea porpoise.

At the same time, some species like otters are making a comeback.

🔴 Swedish summer - expectations vs reality 😂

Swedish summer expectations: golden sunsets, 25°C every day, long picnics, lazy beach afternoons, strawberries and cream under a perfect blue sky ☀️🍓⛱
 Swedish summer reality: 13°C, sideways rain, wet socks, and checking the weather app every 30 minutes like it owes you something ☔️😩

But hey - when the sun does show up, it’s pure magic.
 And somehow, the rainy chaos just makes those golden moments even better.
 Swedish summer may be unpredictable… but it sure knows how to keep things interesting 🇸🇪💙

🚨 Ikea is suing Biltema and wants 4 million kronor!

Why? Because Biltema is selling two products that Ikea says look almost exactly the same as their own:
🪑 A small step stool (FÖRSIKTIG) 💧 A famous watering can (IKEA PS 2002)

Ikea says they told Biltema to stop selling them many times this spring but Biltema kept going.

Now Ikea is taking it to court. They want: ✅ A ban on selling and marketing the products ✅ All copies destroyed ✅ 1 million kronor in fines if Biltema doesn’t stop ✅ Money for legal costs and to tell the public about the case

Biltema hasn’t answered yet.

Did you know Swedes celebrate name days too? 🇸🇪💐
 As a Polish girl living in Sweden, I was so happy to find that out.

In Poland, name days are usually a big deal - almost like a mini birthday. Mine’s two weeks after my actual one, so growing up I always had double the celebrations 🎂✨

Not many countries do this, so imagine my joy when I realised I don’t have to give it up here. Sverige, you understood the assignment 🫶

Fun fact: according to the Swedish calendar, my name day is on May 20… But I proudly stick to my Polish date - July 5 💁‍♀️
 Once a mini birthday, always a mini birthday 😌

🔴 How to land a job in Sweden?

*self-promo? 😅*

That’s one of the questions I get asked most often and truth is, I don’t have that much personal experience to share.

What I do have are stories from friends, family, and you - my lovely followers 🫶

So... what do I actually do for a living here in Sweden? 🇸🇪

I’m an entrepreneur!

✅ Together with my husband, we run a creative studio called @pikusmedia - we do branding and web design for small and medium-sized businesses (mostly in the creative field, online brands, solo entrepreneurs, and restaurants - our faves).

✅ Here in Sweden (and sometimes during our trips across Europe), we also shoot photo and video content for clients’ channels. One of our coolest projects? Working with PlayStation Nordic 🎮

✅ And of course - I’m the person behind LikeSweden, where I share all things Swedish and turn that into a business by selling merch, digital products, services, and partnering with brands. But I always make sure the content is helpful, entertaining, or educational. The brands I work with? Fully tested and genuinely recommended, not just during campaigns.

If you feel like we could create something cool together - my DMs are open. This community is full of creative, colourful people with amazing ideas, and I’d love to be part of them through our designs or content.

And if you’re not ready to collaborate - that’s totally fine too! You can still support what I do for free by liking, commenting, sharing, or simply following along. Thank you! ❤️

🔴 Now you have to fake-lock your door and wait 40 seconds.

If you’ve ever lived in Sweden, you know: There’s one rule carved in icy stone - never leave your apartment at the same time as your neighbour 😂

You will either: 🧍‍♀️ freeze behind your door like a coward 🚪 fake-lock it until they’re gone 🧭 or take the elevator to the wrong floor just to avoid a 4-second “Hej”

Social interaction? No, thank you 😆
