Don’t Forget To Remove Your Shoes

Source: https://www.truthinsideofyou.org

Pretty much like everything in their cities, Swedes are very neat and tidy. Swedes believe that neatness shows your sense of respect and consideration of others. Since most people spend a lot of time outdoors during winter and are likely to collect dirt on their shoes, they take off their shoes when entering private residences. They do this as a sign of respect for the home and its owner. If you get invited to a Swedish home during your visit, make sure you remove your shoes before entering the house. There is usually a place near the door where you can leave your shoes, and most hosts have slippers available for guests to use indoors. Knowing this, you might want to skip wearing lace-up boots when invited as a guest to a house.
