Vacation Getaway
Sweden deeply appreciates the necessity of taking breaks, evident through their daily Fika ritual and extensive summer holidays. Offering a generous 33 vacation days, Sweden leads Europe in this aspect, a luxury that remains a mere dream for Americans and their fellow EU counterparts.
In stark contrast, the US only provides two weeks of vacation, and the EU offers 25.2 days. Swedes are encouraged to indulge in a full four-week vacation, which aligns with the seasonal closure of businesses. Employers recognize that their staff will return invigorated and more productive after a well-deserved, lengthy hiatus. The message is clear: “Take those four weeks and savor them – it’s our treat.”
