Excellent Stay
We stayed in a family bedroom that was very spacious, with beds for four, plus a comfortable sleeping couch and a table that seated four. The hotel sits on a hilltop with a beautiful view over the harbor. Breakfast was excellent—truly the best I’ve had in Sweden.

  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to lower it briefly to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be denied boarding.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
  • To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • If you're taking food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
