We do not think it is necessary to rent a car for our wedding. If you want to explore Sweden, public transportation is recommended. We do not have experience with Car Rental or areas to park within the city walls, so it is entirely up to you and your needs.

Question

Answer

The flight to Sweden is an overnight flight i.e. you will leave around 5pm EST and land in Sweden at about 7-10am local time depending on your flight.

We want to keep the party going so keep in mind you may be jetlagged. The sooner you get there the less jet lagged you will be!

Question

What is the weather like in June in Sweden

Answer

In June, Stockholm, Sweden typically enjoys mild to warm weather, making it one of the best times to visit. Here’s what you can expect: Temperature: Average High: Around 20–22°C (68–72°F). Average Low: Around 11–13°C (52–55°F). Daylight: June is the peak of the "Midnight Sun" season, with extremely long days. Stockholm sees up to 18–19 hours of daylight, making it perfect for outdoor activities. Rainfall: Moderate rainfall is possible, with occasional showers. It’s advisable to carry a light rain jacket or umbrella. WHEN IN DOUBT, BRING A RAIN JACKET. Just because the sun is out doesnt mean it can't rain. Similarly, just because its raining doesnt mean it the sun wont be out in 20 minutes. General Climate: The weather is typically pleasant, with a mix of sunny and partly cloudy days. It’s warm enough for light clothing during the day, but evenings can be cooler, so layers are recommended.
