Holidays to Sweden are a pleasing mash-up of cosmopolitan cities and can’t-believe-it outdoor vistas.
Say yes to Sweden
Viking history, cities that’ll have you wanting to stay a bit longer, and outdoor scenery that’s dressed to impress… Sweden’s got the lot. The largest of the Scandinavian nations requires as much time as you’ve got to really get your teeth into its many highlights. On the cities front, your three big hitters are Malmo, Stockholm and Gothenburg. And when it comes to Sweden’s famous scenery, you can tick off everything from velvety beaches on the east coast to snow-dusted mountains in the west.
City it up in Stockholm
It’ll come as no surprise that Stockholm, Sweden’s capital, bags a lot of tourist attention. This happy hub comes crammed with both futuristic architecture and history-soaked landmarks. Add to the mix a collection of world-class museums, vibrant nightclubs and Swedish cuisine, and you’ve got quite the destination to explore. Also, to the east, Stockholm’s edged by nearly 30,000 islands, with many of them easily reached by boat. This is Sweden’s largest archipelago – the country has close to a whopping 270,000 islands in total.
Year-round adventure
Sweden’s pretty famous for its outdoorsy scenes. Like swatches of pine forest, coastal vistas that are as dramatic as a Shakespeare play, and mountains that come capped with snow. This country’s the perfect pick if you’re a keen bean for outdoor pursuits – no matter what time of year you decide to visit. Ski your way through the west during the winter, or pack your swimsuit for the east coast beaches that are best visited in Swedish summertime.
