How to be a vegan in Sweden?

How to be a vegan in Sweden?
I am going to Sweden for a exchange student program and I am vegan. Are there modern grocery stores there? And is it easy to be a vegan? Like, are there many options and such?

I went to Sweden in 2006 and it is very much possible to be a vegan there. They have everything we have here in the U.S. A. Enjoy your trip and be sure to go to Old Stockholm if you can.
2 :
Are you staying with a host family? I hope their vegan too because cooking is one thing that women take very serious in Sweden.

Just as possible and easy as being a vegan anyplace else in the Western world ... keep in mind though Swedes like fish.

I've never been to Sweden, but you might find this site useful: http://www.happycow.net/europe/sweden/index.html Just click on the Swedish city and it will give you a list of veg-friendly restaurants and/or stores. Good luck.

I am swedish and yes it is VERY possible to be a vegan in Sweden. We have modern grocery stores in Sweden and you can find food from all over the world. You will not have any problem. Even if you are staying with a (non-vegan) host family you will probably not have any problem, since the swedish people are very considerate. Just tell them that you're a vegan and you will not have any problem! I am happy for you, by the way! Go and have fun! And Bill C: I don't know where you got your facts but I don't agree with you that swedish women care so much about cooking (??). Come to Greece and see how the women here care about cooking!
