Sweden - "cultural etiquette"

meeting and greeting

• Shake hands with everyone present -- men, women, and children -- at business and social meetings. Shake hands again when leaving.
• Younger people generally do not shake hands when meeting friends. Older people expect a handshake when being greeted or when leaving.
• If no one is available to introduce you, shake each person's hand and introduce yourself.

Body Language

• Generally, Swedes are reserved in body language. They do not embrace or touch often in public.
• Maintain eye contact at all times while talking with someone.
