Practical travel guide for Réunion from Sweden
Planning your trip to Réunion requires some preparation. This guide helps you with important information about everything from transport to local customs, ensuring your trip is smooth and enjoyable.
Réunion is a French overseas department, which means Swedish citizens do not need a visa for short stays (up to 90 days) with a valid passport. However, you must have a return ticket and proof of sufficient funds for your stay. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after your return. Always check the latest entry requirements close to your departure, especially regarding health regulations or any customs rules for specific goods. Note that customs rules may differ from those applicable within the EU mainland.
The best way to explore Réunion is to rent a car. The roads are well-maintained, but they can be steep and winding, especially inland towards the cirques. Public transport, mainly buses (Car Jaune), is reliable and covers the major cities but does not reach all hiking areas. If you stay in Saint-Denis, you can manage without a car, but to see the volcano and the beautiful valleys, a rental car is almost essential. Compared to Sweden, driving is more relaxed, but be prepared for narrow mountain roads. Remember to book a rental car in advance, especially during the high season.
Accommodation in Réunion varies greatly. You will find everything from luxury beach hotels along the west coast (Saint-Gilles-les-Bains) to charming 'gîtes' (hostels/small guesthouses) in the mountain villages. For hikers, gîtes in the 'cirques' (Mafate, Cilaos, Salazie) are the perfect choice. Prices are generally higher than in many other tropical destinations, in line with French prices. To get the best prices, book well in advance, especially if you plan to visit during school holidays. Staying in a gîte gives you a unique insight into the local culture and is often cheaper than hotels. Compare prices on different platforms before deciding.
Réunion is generally a very safe destination. The main risk is related to nature: be very careful with the sea due to the shark risk (only swim in protected lagoons or supervised areas) and always follow marked hiking trails in the mountains. Petty crime like pickpocketing occurs in larger cities like Saint-Denis, especially in markets and at tourist attractions. Never leave valuables visible in the rental car. Scams against tourists are uncommon, but always be skeptical of people offering unnecessary 'assistance services' at parking lots or sights. Use common sense, just like at home in Sweden.
Réunion has a rich Creole culture with strong French influences. The locals are friendly and welcoming. French is the official language, but Creole is widely spoken. Learning a few French phrases is appreciated. The dress code is relaxed, but it is polite to dress a little more properly when visiting churches or finer restaurants. Tipping is not mandatory, but it is common to leave 5–10% in restaurants if the service was good. When visiting someone's home, bring a small gift. Showing respect for nature and local traditions is important for integrating well during your trip. Don't be afraid to talk to the locals; they are happy to share tips.
Réunion's cuisine is a flavorful blend of Creole, Indian, African, and French tastes. Try the local dish 'cari' (a type of curry) served with rice and lentils. 'Rougail saucisse' (sausage in tomato sauce) is also a classic. Don't miss the local fruits and vegetables sold at the markets. Tap water is safe to drink in most areas, but bottled water is available everywhere. Don't forget to try the local rum, often flavored with vanilla or other fruits. To 'not be a tourist,' seek out small 'tables d’hôtes' (dining rooms) in the mountain villages where you get home-cooked food. It is often the best and most authentic dining experience you can have on the island. TICKETS.SE tip: Try the small 'bouchons' (steamed dumplings) sold as street food – perfect snacks!
