Sweden Travel - Hotels, Sightseeing Tours, Attractions

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.

Stockholm - Located a hop and a skip from Finnish waters, Scandinavia's biggest city offers the fascinating sight of a town built on water and surrounded by 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.

Goteborg - cosmopolitan, but so very Swedish!
If Stockholm is the most beautiful city in Sweden, Göteborg is considered the most welcoming! Set on the west coast, equidistant from Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo, Goteborg has been one of the nerve centres of the whole of Scandinavia since its foundation in 1621. It is also the largest port in the region, with a capacity of over 30 million tones of merchandise. With its broad thoroughfares, its 17th century canals and its cycle paths linking the centre to the sandy beaches of Halland south of the city, Goteborg gives the impression of having been designed for well-being. There are no less than 175 m2 of green space per inhabitant here (the Trädgårdsföreningen park contains over 2,000 varieties of rose).

Malmo - Malmö is a city in the south of Sweden. It is the third of Sweden's towns with a population of 250,000 inhabitants and has a modern and continental atmosphere, with a number of preserved buildings from older centuries. A 35 minutes short trip by train takes you to Copenhagen over the the Öresund Bridge.
A major sight in Malmö is the Malmöhus, the old city castle which houses a series of museums. Otherwise try the Form and Design Center or the Rooseum with good collections of modern art. The new Turning Torso tower is a major landmark of the city, located in the Västra Hamnen harbour area.

Helsingborg - Situated at Sweden's closest point to Denmark, with Elsinore clearly visible 4km away on the other side of the Oresund Strait, Helsingborg remains one of the most important ports in Europe. The strategic location means it was settled early, around a millennium ago, and explains the imposing ramparts that have stood guard over the town for 600 years.
Helsingborg is a major regional centre of trade, transport and business. Helsingborg, like Elsinore, is on the 56th parallel, a line of latitude shared with Moscow and Glasgow
Hotels Helsingborg

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.
