Best destinations for your dollar

Average Vacation Expenses in Sweden

4.6% — value growth in dollar since 2016

Your buck gets you 0.3% more Swedish Krona than it did in 2016, but that number is going to have to grow a lot higher for Sweden to compete with many of the other travel destinations on the list. However, on the bright side, it is the cheapest place to look for a Scandinavian getaway – just don’t let the high hotel and Airbnb costs dissuade you.
