Well not me but my wife is going on a Scandanavian tour + Finland from Korea next week. Is there anything she should know about before going. I’ve been to Europe myself a few times but not the northern part and I’m just worried bout her even though it is relatively safe up there.

That said, anything she should know good or bad? local customs? warnings? tourist traps?

    Not totally true, it’s common to “round up” at bars, so if a drink is 96kr, you’d pay 100kr. At a restaurant, good service usually gets a 5% - 10% tip.

    That said, recently a lot of places has bought card payment machines with American software that asks whether you want to tip 10, 15 or 20%… but this is sort of a scam by restaurants trying to get people to start tipping more.

      No don’t introduce a stupid tipping culture! I’ve never rounded up or tipped for good service, nor have anyone I know of 🤷🏼‍♀️

        Most of my friends and family will tip for great service. It is not uncommon.

      Never rounded up or tipped anywhere, closest thing I’ve experienced was one bar that a big funnel on a wall where you could toss yourself or hand unwanted coins to the bar staff so they’d toss it in but that was only if people felt like getting rid of some change they didn’t want to carry around.
