A service charge is automatically included in most Swedish hotel and restaurant bills. Tipping for extra services provided by staff is fine, but is not expected and is your choice.
Porters and cloakroom attendants often charge fixed fees. Doormen at hotels and restaurants are tipped modestly. Beauty therapists and hairdressers expect no tip at all.
At restaurants, a small tip of 5-10 percent is usual for evening meals. If you buy a drink at the bar, it’s appreciated if you leave any small change on the bar.
Taxi drivers should be given a few extra Kronor or the fare may be rounded up.
