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?

jtd381fNever been to a Swedish library or office where you would take your shoes off (except maybe kindergartens).

jtd4i6uMy current office is shoe free (apart from indoor slippers). I’ve worked in quite many places (Tech) with the same policy.
I’ve been to one library that was shoe free, at least during winter. It was a bit of a surprise to me. Also, the children’s clinic at the local hospital is shoe free.

jtd4myyWell, actually, just realised my physiotherapist has the same policy as do most training centres.

jtdhwlrMy partners office job involves special indoor shoes, regardless of building type.
He started in a modern building, now works and walks through marble floored town hall daily. Our library is fine, but the upstairs rooms to loan usually have the people’s shoes piled up inside the doors.
Follow the lead of the people that you are visiting, if they remove shoes then do the same!
Even contractors used to do the same, a plumber removing boots at front door seemed funny 20 yrs ago, now it seems rude if they don’t when they come up to check what tools or part he needs to go off and collect.
