The area and getting around

The North of Sweden

The country's North is best explored by car. With its wide range of outdoor activities on offer, Lapland is a great winter destination. Try snowmobiling or dog sledding for a lot of snowy fun. Kungsleden, Sweden's most famous hiking trail, runs between Abisko and Hemavan. In winter, it turns into a ski trail.

Fantastic Stockholm

Sweden's capital is one of Europe's and the world's most beautiful cities. Visit Drottningholm Palace on the outskirts of the city and find out more about the Vikings in the Vasa Museum. For all its royal glory, Stockholm is no stranger to some quirky street art. The Snösätra Wall of Fame is Sweden's largest graffiti wall featuring paintings by artists from all over the world.

Travellers and activities

Sweden for couples

While not a typical honeymoon destination, Sweden is nevertheless wonderfully romantic. Cosy up in a traditional red log cabin, sample some of Sweden's mouthwatering cakes and enjoy your evenings in front of a crackling fireplace. Cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg offer a vast array of fine dining options and world-class entertainment. Picturesque Gothenburg is a great destination for a romantic couples holiday. Stroll down the cobblestone streets, visit the Älvsborg Fortress located on a tiny island in the city's harbour and climb to the top of the Ragnhildsholmen Castle ruins to observe the breathtaking landscape.​

Sweden for lovers of the great outdoors

Sweden is a hiker's paradise. Not only does the country have some of the world's most scenic hiking trails, it also offers dense forests, deep blue lakes and numerous national parks - 29 to be exact. In winter, the town of Åre transforms into Sweden's premier ski resort with a vast network of slopes. In summer, Åre's skiing slopes turn into downhill cycling trails frequented by avid mountain bikers. ​

Hundreds of thousands of moose roam freely in Sweden's forests. You're in with a good chance of encountering one of them during a hike!

Top 5 travel tips in Sweden

1. See the Northern Lights in Kiruna

The colourful swirls in the night sky are a sight to behold. Head to Kiruna in Sweden's far North to witness the magic of the aurora borealis first-hand. The Northern Lights can usually be seen between September and April.

2. Visit the home of Pippi Longstocking

The colourful Villa Villekulla is the home of fictional character Pippi Longstocking. The house can be seen in the famous TV series and is now displayed in the Kneippbyn Amusement Park.

3. Celebrate Midsummer

Midsummer is an annually occurring festival dedicated to celebrating the summer solstice. Its roots lie in pre-Christian Sweden. The festivities involve dancing around a maypole, drinking and lighting bonfires.

4. Fancy skiing in summer?

Midsweden 365 is the world's longest indoor skiing slope. As its name suggests, it is open all year round. The skiing slope is located in a former military tunnel hewn into a mountain outside the city of Gällö.

5. Defy gravity at Trollvägen hill
