Legal Drinking Age - Sweden
Last Updated: 7th Jun 2012
More Tour and Travel Advice for Europe
In Sweden, the sale of Alcohol above 3.5% (7 proof) is restricted to people 20 years and over. Restaurants may serve low alcohol beverages to people aged 18 years of age, however most bars and clubs choose to enforce a 20 year old limit rather than 18 years.
Unusually, the Swedish government owns and controls all liquor stores in the country and they are known as ‘Systemet’ (Systembolaget). You must be 20 years or older to purchase alcohol from a Systemet. The governments of Norway and Finland also own the liquor outlets in their respective countries but 18 is the legal limit in these countries.

Sweden and Norway are similar. You have to be 20 to get alcohol above 20% and you can only buy it at “Vinmonopolet”. You have to be 18 to buy beer and wine etc. In Denmark it’s 15..

For a great view of the city (especially at night) go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris. It also offers a great vantage point for viewing the water show at the Bellagio.
The Tirol is one of the most beautiful parts of the world. If you visit Hopfgarten, visit the trout farm - you can catch a fish, then have it for lunch!
I dont think anyone has ever said they didnt enjoy George's boat! Its by far the best optional on tour! The water is amazing and George is quite the entertainer ;)
