Why Europe’s fika capital isn’t actually in Sweden
Vienna, not Sweden, is celebrated as Europe's fika capital, with its coffee house culture recognized by UNESCO.

Vienna offers a variety of coffee experiences, from traditional to artisanal brews, and is renowned for its decadent pastries and cakes. Austrian Airlines enhances the experience by serving Julius Meinl coffee on flights from Sweden to Vienna, promoting a seamless coffee culture experience.
The unexpected side effect of moving abroad
Expats often feel disconnected from their native culture when living abroad. To maintain their cultural ties, they engage in activities such as reading news and literature from their home country, preparing traditional dishes, meeting with other expats, listening to podcasts, and using social media. Technology, particularly magazine reader apps like Readly, facilitates access to home country magazines and news, helping expats stay updated with current affairs, slang, and pop culture.
