In Sweden, 79 per cent of the listed toilets are free; 80 out of 375 charge. The paid ones tend to sit where crowds pass through: stations, shopping centres, motorway services. A few coins in your pocket will not hurt, but you will usually not need them.

Entries in Sweden cluster heavily: Stockholm alone accounts for 224 of the 375 toilets, or 60 per cent. The other 2 cities share the rest. Outside the big city it is worth loading the area once in advance — it then works without a connection.

Step-free access and changing tables

38 per cent of entries in Sweden are recorded as step-free. A baby changing table is noted on 71 entries (19 per cent); with small children it is worth checking the features before you set off.

Where these numbers come from

Most entries for Sweden come from OpenStreetMap, the open map volunteers have been building since 2004. On top of that sit places users added in the app themselves, with ratings and photos. The two sources are kept apart so a mistake in one never overwrites the other. An entry reported as gone is hidden rather than deleted — so it can come back if the toilet reopens.
