How dates are set

Who decides

School holidays in Sweden are set by each municipality.

In Sweden each municipality sets its own school holidays, so dates are listed for the largest cities. The winter sports break (sportlov) falls in different weeks: week 7 in Göteborg, week 8 in Malmö and Uppsala, week 9 in Stockholm in 2027.

Single schools can add a few days of their own (for example for teacher training or local feasts). Check with your school for those.
