Sweden is a land of cultural contrast, from the Danish influence of the
southwest to the nomadic Laplanders in the wild Arctic north. And while
urban Sweden is stylish, modern and sophisticated, the countryside offers
many simpler pleasures for those in search of tranquility. Sweden’s scenery has a gentler charm than that of neighboring Norway’s rugged coast. Much of Sweden is swathed in forest, and there are thousands of lakes, notably large stretches of water between Gothenburg and the capital, Stockholm. The lakeside resort of Östersund, in the center of Sweden, is popular with Scandinavians, but most visitors opt first for the cities and the Baltic islands: the largest island, Gotland, with its array of ruined medieval churches, is a particular highlight. Another major attraction is the so-called ‘Kingdom of Crystal’, a forested area between Malmö and Stockholm boasting many fine glassworks. |

forest. With the arrival of warmer days, Stockholm and its islands can be
visited on foot, by bike or by boat. Apart from the sheer beauty of the
site, you'll perhaps above all appreciate the 'Scandinavian spirit' of the
inhabitants' lifestyle. Hotels in Stockholm - Last Minute Hotels Stockholm - Current Specials in Stockholm - » Stockholm Sightseeing Tours Events & Attractions Travel to Goteborg - cosmopolitan, but so very Swedish! Travel to Malmo - Malmö is a city in the south of Sweden. It is

The land, as well as its people, has an air of reserved calm, and while best
known for its automotive and musical exports – Volvo and Abba are pretty
much household names – a strong historical undertone bubbles close beneath
the surface. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Stockholm, where dozens
of museums deal with all imaginable aspects of the past, and medieval and
Baroque edifices housing boutiques and cafes overlook the attractive harbor.Sweden tourist attractionsAsk Sweden fans what's their favorite spot in Sweden and most will say there are too many to mention.
