SWEDEN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN THE WORD.......You Should Know about it.

Sweden ranks high on lists measuring quality of life, equality, and happiness, making it a fantastic place to live. The country, known for its breathtaking natural landscapes, burgeoning foodie culture, and picturesque medieval towns, is a superb travel destination. Don’t miss these beautiful spots on your next visit to the Scandinavian wonderland.

The Stockholm Archipelago

Sweden’s largest archipelago, or chain of small islands, extends around the capital city of Stockholm, which gives travelers easy access to tens of thousands of beautiful islands and islets, only a fraction of which are inhabited. Join a ride on the steam-powered passenger ships that tour the archipelago during the summer months, or plan an island-hopping excursion to maximize your experience. Some islands are home to undisturbed wildlife and are perfect for hiking or kayaking through, while others boast quaint inns and fancy restaurants along with the distinctively Scandinavian red and yellow timber houses. Although you’ll feel miles away from the city, a day trip from Stockholm can be easily arranged. 

Swedish Lapland

Lapland, which is spread across Sweden as well as Norway and Finland is considered by many to be Europe’s last true wilderness area. In this land of the midnight sun and the northern lights (from mid-autumn through early spring) is definitely for the adventurous. Kiruna is one of its more popular destinations where visitors can meet the Samis and their reindeer herds, as well as to explore the remote and stunning wilderness filled with countless lakes. There are practically an endless list of opportunities for excursions, including becoming a musher for the day, embarking on a moose safari, ski and snowmobile tours, ice climbing and more. 

 

Kosterhavet

The country’s first National Marine Park can be found on the scenic, vehicle free Koster Islands. Just a two-hour drive from Gothenburg, and you can embark on a seal safari, kayak, dive or just revel in some of the most unspoiled beaches on the planet. Renting a bike and explore on two wheels, or taking a boat excursion to this fantastic marine wonderland are just two of the favorite ways to experience it. The islands’ appeal include the captivating “Koster Light,” which has inspired many artists. Lobster lovers won’t want to miss joining a lobster safari either – if you book a Lobster Package, you’ll get to join the crew on a guided Lobster Safari held by skilled professional fishermen, and upon your return, of course, you’ll be able to dine on the delectable catch. 

Lund 

This enchanting city has roots in the Viking Age, and with its rich history and lively student population, it has quite a bit more to offer than even many other much larger cities. Ideal for history buffs, its cobblestone lane center features interesting, attractive and sometimes quite quirky architecture, along with museums focused on everything from weapons and old runes to modern art. Lund Cathedral is one of the most visited sites in the region, and you’ll understand why when you stand in front of the imposing Roman cathedral, with its mighty twin towers rising above the roofs of central Lund. Rent a bicycle and pedal around the cobbled streets and picturesque parks for the best way to soak up its sights. Be sure to take a break at the history museum, which showcases some wonderfully weird objects in the curiosity room, as well as making a stop at one of the cozy cafes housed in historic buildings to enjoy “Fika,” which simply means to have coffee and a pastry. 

Malmo

Malmo is a multi-cultural city, full of excitement and energy. Situated just over the Oresund Bridge from the Danish capital and part of Denmark until the 17th century, it has long been overshadowed by its more famous neighbor, but it has plenty to offer on its own, including a host of outstanding cultural offerings like the new Moderna Museet Malmö. Sweden’s third largest city is fairly small but it is big on organic, fair trade products from fashion to cuisine. You’ll find it fairly easy to shop guilt-free and to enjoy both delicious and ethically-produced food and drink at one of many acclaimed organic restaurants. In recent years, the city’s most notable development has been the revitalization of its Western Harbor, where former shipyards have been transformed into a residential and cultural space with striking architecture and design, and homes and businesses are powered by all-renewable energy. On a nice day, it’s hard to beat strolling along the promenade indulging in ice cream. 

Gothenburg

Sweden’s “second city” offers a nice alternative to the glamour and glitz of Stockholm. It’s less expensive, and less pretentious as well as being easier to get around. Its streets are lined with all sorts of things to do all year round, and you’ll notice its flair for architecture can be found throughout, including the many scenic parks and gardens, like Slottsskogen Park, Kiellers Park, and Gothenburg Botanical Gardens. There are also galleries to browse, grand homes to gaze at and unique museums that you won’t find anywhere else,like the natural history museum with its stuffed blue whale. Its location on the coast also means incredible local seafood options in local restaurants, and brew lovers will appreciate the happening local craft beer scene. 

The Icehotel

The Icehotel, located in the village of Jukkasjärvi, offers the ultimate Arctic holiday. Step inside and you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a Disney film. Completely fashioned out of ice and snow, it even features an ice bar and an ice church. Each year, the hotel has to be rebuilt, which means even if you’ve stayed before, the experience will be brand new the next time. Every room is custom designed, with no two the same. You’ll stay warm with cozy sleeping bags and warm animal furs – and if staying in a frozen suite is not your idea of fun, there is also the option to stay in a non-frozen room. Surrounded by a beautiful winter wonderland, the Icehotel also happens to be in an area that is known as one of the best in theworld for viewing the northern lights, which can be seen on just about every clear night. Visitors can also join dog sled safaris, snow shoe on Arctic trails and more. 

Gammelstad

Set along the northern coast of the Baltic Sea, Gammelstad is a Swedish UNESCO World Heritage Site and historic Gammelstad Church Town. While you can find similar villages throughout Scandinavia, few have withstood the test of time like Gammelstad. The perfectly-preserved town offers a journey back in time, with the chance to see more than 420 wooden church cottages which surround a 15th-century medieval stone church. The cottages were only used on Sundays and at religious festivals to house worshippers from the surrounding countryside who could not return home the same day due to the distance and difficult traveling conditions. 

Kalmar

Kalmar is best known for its castle, Kalmar Castle and its cathedral, but this modern city offers the opportunities of a larger city with the charm of a smaller one. You can easily walk or bike to enjoy a number of parks, beaches, forests, shops, museums, galleries and cafes, as well as the castle. This magnificent castle complete with towers and pinnacles has a history that dates back more than 800 years, though its present appearance is from the 16th century, when the Vasa kings rebuilt it in the style of a Renaissance palace, with furnishings in the continental manner.
