Halloween or All Saints’ Day - do you know the difference?

At the end of October, Sweden celebrates two traditions that can easily be confused.

👻 Halloween, on 31 October, is all about costumes, pumpkins, spooky decorations and bus eller godis (trick-or-treating).

🕯️ Alla helgons dag, celebrated on a Saturday between 31 October and 6 November, is a time to remember loved ones who have passed away. Many Swedes visit cemeteries, light candles and place flowers on graves.

🎃 This year, Halloween and Alla helgons dag fall on the same day, 31 October, but they have very different meanings.

✨ A useful tip: Alla helgons dag is an official public holiday in Sweden. The Friday before is called allhelgonaafton. It isn't an official public holiday, but some workplaces offer shorter working hours. Shop opening hours may also vary during the weekend, so it's worth checking in advance.

🍂 It’s autumn break in Sweden!

During the autumn holidays (höstlov), we’re taking a short break too, so there will be no events at the Hub this week.

In Sweden, höstlov is a school holiday when many families take the opportunity to enjoy autumn activities, explore nature or get into the Halloween spirit! 🎃🍂

Whether you’re planning a little adventure or simply enjoying a quiet week at home, we wish you a lovely autumn break!

We look forward to seeing you again soon! ☕️✨

🕰️ A little reminder for the weekend!

This Sunday, 25 October 2026, Sweden switches to winter time. At 3 am, the clocks go back to 2 am, giving you an extra hour to sleep, relax or enjoy a slow morning☕️

💡 Did you know? Before 1879, Sweden had four different kinds of time: local solar time, railway time, telegraph time and navigation time!

🚂 On 1 January 1879, Sweden introduced a common standard time across the country, making it easier for everyone to stay on the same schedule.

So, enjoy that extra hour, take it slow and make the most of those cosy autumn mornings!

💬 What if one conversation could open the door to your next career opportunity?

A big thank you to the Social Hub Lund and inspiring guest speakers for sharing their experiences and practical advice, and to everyone who joined this event and contributed to such a welcoming atmosphere! 💛

Because building your network is about more than finding a job -it’s about finding support, sharing experiences and discovering new possibilities.

Your first dark season in Sweden? ✨

Shorter days, grey skies and darker evenings can take some getting used to, especially if you're experiencing your first autumn and winter in Sweden.

Here are 5 simple ways to make the most of the darker months in Skåne:

☀️ Boost your vitamin D
Include vitamin D-rich foods in your diet, such as fatty fish, eggs and foods fortified with vitamin D, including some types of milk and plant-based drinks.

🚶 Make the most of daylight and keep moving
Take a walk during your lunch break, explore a nearby park or cycle around Lund. Even a short walk is a good way to get outside and break up your day.

☕ Stay social
Meet a friend for fika, join a local activity or reach out to someone new. Small moments of connection can make a difference.

🕯️ Make your home cosy
Warm lighting, candles, a favourite hot drink and a good book can make dark evenings feel more inviting.

💛 Come by International Citizen Hub Lund for a free cup of coffee and a friendly chat!
If you're new to Lund and looking for company, you're always welcome at us. Come by for a free cup of coffee, a friendly chat and the chance to meet other internationals.

Sometimes, a little connection is all it takes to make a grey day feel brighter.

💬 What helps you get through the dark season? Share your tips in the comments!
