Fika!

  • Offered in English, Swedish
  • Alingsås
I moved to West Sweden from Scotland in 2011 and now live just outside Alingsås – Sweden’s capital of fika. Apart from being a very cute small town it is littered with great cafés, so meeting up for a traditional coffee, cake and chat seems like an obvious thing to do. It’s an opportunity for you to get to know West Sweden a little better and if you need help with planning some places to visit, I’ve been all over the region and should be able to help.
