As well as this advice, check out our travel advice for Sweden and Denmark

Before you leave the UK

British citizens dont need a visa to travel to Sweden or Denmark, but your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay

make sure the next of kin details are kept up to date in your passport, and remember to keep your passport safe at all times

remember to get your free European Health Insurance Card EHIC before leaving the UK. The EHIC isnt a substitute for medical and travel insurance, but it will enable you to access public healthcare provided in Sweden or Denmark at a reduced cost, or sometimes for free; it will cover you for treatment until you return to the UK

before you leave the UK, take out comprehensive travel insurance
