Time is of the Essence
Given their pragmatic and functional culture, it’s no surprise that Swedes are punctual. Whether it’s an official doctor’s appointment or a casual meeting with a close friend, lateness is viewed with disapproval in Sweden.
However, arriving too early isn’t advisable either, as it might convey the impression that you’ve been waiting for the other party to arrive, leading to potential awkwardness. The best strategy is to ensure your watch is in sync with the correct time and to keep a watchful eye on it.
