How do people get around?:

In Sweden, most people either walk, ride bikes, or use public transportation such as buses, trains and trams. Cities and towns are designed with wide sidewalks, complete with lanes for both pedestrians and cyclists, making it easy and safe for everyone to navigate. Stoplights often include signals specifically for cyclists, emphasizing how common biking is here. Outside many buildings, you’ll find bus stops and parking areas for bikes, showing just how integral these modes of transport are to Swedish life. Even food delivery services use special bikes to deliver meals!

Biking isn’t limited to just commuting within towns; Sweden’s southern regions are especially well-known for their bike lanes that can take you from town to town and even from city to city.
