while, even if elsewhere the traveller must not entertain too great expectations
as regards the hotels, he will discover with satisfaction that they are
everywhere exceedingly clean.
Outside the larger towns some little knowledge of Swedish is necessary for
the traveller, but whereever he may come, the stranger will always be certain
of being received in a most kindly fashion.
For tours in the mountain-districts special equipment is necessary,
information respecting which can be had through the Swedish Tourist Association.
The daily charges for board and lodging with attendance may, by travellers
who are not altogether too exacting in these respects, be estimated at from
10 to 12 kr. per day. In the pensions the prices are from 5—7 kr. per day
if a long stay be made, while, at the greater number of the seaside-places, the
prices are still lower during the summer.

Motor-car-, cycle- and canoe-trips. Although Swedish highroads cannot
compare with those of the continent, motor-car- and cycle-trips can be easily made
almost anywhere in the country. There is a map published showing the roads
suitable for motor-cars, and other information can be had from the Royal
Automobile Club (Kungliga Automobilklubben), Stockholm. A large number of the
Swedish water-ways are very suitable for interesting canoe-trips.
Maps. The Swedish Tourist Association has issued special maps of a
number of the tourist-routes. The General Staff has published maps of the greater
part of the country, those for the southern districts being on the scale 1:100 000
and costing 50 ore per sheet, while, for the northern part of the country, they
are on the scale 1:200 000 and cost 75 ore per sheet, These maps can be
had from any Swedish bookseller.
