المعنى
Asking about a destination.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Söndagspromenad' (Sunday walk) is a staple of Swedish life. Asking 'Vart ska vi gå?' on a Sunday morning usually implies a 5-10km walk in a local nature reserve. In cities like Stockholm, 'Vart ska vi gå?' is the standard way to start a 'barrunda' (bar crawl). Swedish meetings are famous for 'lagom' and consensus. 'Vart ska vi gå?' is often used to gently steer a group toward a decision without being bossy. Due to 'Allemansrätten', you can walk almost anywhere. This makes the answer to 'Vart ska vi gå?' much broader than in many other countries.
Drop the 'gå'
In casual conversation, just say 'Vart ska vi?'. It's faster and sounds more native.
The Var/Vart Trap
Even some Swedes mess this up, but as a learner, getting it right makes you sound very educated.
