Sweden
Pack your camping gear for a one-to-one encounter with the midnight sun in Sweden’s mountainous north.
In fact, nature is never far away, whether you’re cooling off in a city lake, exploring a remote island or feeling the fresh winds of contemporary design against your face.
Popular places in Sweden
Cityscape
After visiting the Old Town and the Royal Castle in Stockholm, head south-west to Gothenburg. See romantic Masthugget Church, neo-classical Götaplatsen Square or stroll along sprawling Kungsportsavenyn. For the latest and most exciting contemporary architecture, travel south to up-and-coming Malmö.
Landscape
Trek through the vast wilderness of the north in Abisko Natural Park, or in the winter, watch the northern lights and go downhill skiing at Riksgränsen. Try island-hopping in the scenic archipelagos outside Stockholm or Gothenburg or stretch out on a long sandy beach in the southern province of Skåne. Don’t miss the limestone formations on the scenic island of Fårö, off the northern tip of Gotland.
Take Home
Carefully wrap up some Swedish glass from Småland to take home, together with some minimalist interior designs from Stockholm. Bring back bracelets and jumpers crafted by the Sami people of the north, or pickled herring from the west coast.
Eat & Drink
Try reindeer casserole - renskav - in the northern province of Norrland or smoked eel in southern Skåne. On the west coast, indulge in seafood specialities such as gravlax. All over the country, try traditional everyday Swedish meals such as pytt i panna (cubed potato and beef) or raggmunk (potato pancake) with lingonberry jam.
New Perspective
Enter Sweden from the south and sense the multicultural vibe of Malmö. Hang out in the new Västra Hamnen neighbourhood and see the sun set behind Öresundsbron, the bridge joining Sweden with Denmark.
