Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Swedish summer (June to August) has long, light evenings and is the peak for both weather and prices, and many Swedes take July off, so book accommodation early. Midsummer (late June) is a major holiday when much closes, a lovely time to visit but plan around reduced opening hours.
Australian passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist stays in Sweden (Schengen area, up to 90 days in any 180), so no visa fee, though the EU's ETIAS authorisation is expected in future, check before travelling. Sweden is largely cashless, so a travel card or phone payment is essential, many places take no cash at all.
💰 Ways to save
- Self-cater and embrace fika, supermarket food and cafe culture are far cheaper than restaurant dining.
- Use the Stockholm public transport and regular archipelago ferries rather than tours to explore cheaply.
- Travel in the May or September shoulder for lower rates than the July peak, with still-pleasant long days.
