If you receive exceptional service and wish to show appreciation, a small tip will be accepted graciously but is never required. Rounding up a bill or leaving a few hundred krona is a kind gesture but not an expectation.
For tour guides and drivers who provide outstanding experiences, a modest tip at the end of a multi-day trip can be appropriate, particularly if the service truly enhanced your journey. Use your judgment based on the quality of the experience.
This no-tipping culture extends to restaurants, hotels, taxis, and most service situations. The simplicity is refreshing for visitors accustomed to calculating gratuities at every turn.
