Fika – enjoying life like the Swedes

Fika, the tradition of drinking coffee and eating cake with friends, is as Swedish as ABBA. You might ask, "What's so special about a cup of coffee?" It's much more than that. Fika is deeply rooted in Swedish culture. Some companies even include a clause in their employment contracts that officially grants employees the right to fika breaks. The cinnamon bun (kanelbulle) and the traditional princess cake (prinsesstårta) are fika classics. The best part is that you can enjoy fika anywhere in Sweden on vacation.
