About Sweden
Sweden is a land of diversity and grandiosity, making it an ideal destination for a luxury, tailor-made holiday. The country excels in all areas from rural to urban: the picturesque wilderness of the north abounds in magical splendour, whilst the metropolitan areas to the south offer culture, history and world-class cuisine. Time in the vast northern expanses of imposing mountains, wild forests and foreboding marshes will be spent spotting wild reindeer and embarking on hiking trails and dog sledding. During the winter the night skies are lit up with the wonder of the Aurora Borealis, whilst during the height of summer night is kept almost entirely at bay by the Midnight Sun. Heading further south, waterways and agricultural land ensure a peaceful break indulging in experiencing a more laid-back, yet no less authentic, side of Swedish life. The cities to the south of Sweden offer culture and history through their collection of world-class museums such as the Vasa Museum, castles, cathedrals and restaurants. The capital Stockholm encapsulates all of this with its historic old town, chic restaurants and magnificent Royal Palace. As the largest country in Northern Europe, there are many different ways of travelling the large expanses between locations, the most iconic of which is by train, taking you from the relative warmth of the south to the frozen tundra and snow-capped forests of the north. Sweden is an enticing destination for a holiday in its own right or can be visited in conjunction with the other Scandinavian countries. With a variety of transport options you can experience multiple regions, or perhaps choose to stay in one area for longer to truly get a feel for the majesty of this country.
Highlights of Sweden
Sweden contains over 100,000 lakes, ranging from forest ponds to vast expanses of water such as Vänern, the third largest lake in Europe. Lake swimming is popular activity and there are many opportunities for water sports on some of the smaller lakes. Sweden’s freedom to roam means anyone has the right to explore freely in nature, and there are a great number of hiking trails which will allow you to take full advantage of this. Kungsleden Trail (King’s Trail) is Sweden’s longest and most famous walking trail and will take you through a varied mountain landscape and the Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve, one of the largest protected areas in Europe. Sweden is also known for its wildlife: reindeer live in the northern forests and mountains, whilst moose, wolves and bears can also be spotted in the more remote regions. Further south the landscape is interspersed with glorious castles, the most impressive of which is arguably Drottningholm just outside Stockholm, which dates from the 17th century and was one of the most lavish buildings of its era. Above the Arctic Circle the Northern Lights illuminate the night sky during winter, in stark contrast to the Midnight Sun which keeps night-time at bay during the summer months. Sweden has a strong Viking heritage which can still be seen at archaeological sites of burial mounds, wood huts and museums. Some of the best of these can be seen in the capital of Stockholm, in particular the Viking Museum and the Birka Museum, the latter of which was an important Viking Age trading centre during the 9th century. Stockholm’s Gamla Stan (Old Town) is where the city was founded in 1252 and is home to the city’s cathedral, which has been at the heart of religious and political life in Sweden since its construction in the 13th century. The Royal Palace is the official residence of the King and Queen of Sweden and was built largely during the 18th century in the Italian Baroque style. New Nordic restaurants line the streets and squares, where you can try everything from local game to seafood classics.
Cultural highlights of Sweden
Viking treasure and artefacts in museums around the country. Folk tales and mythology. A wide variety of museums in Stockholm, including the ABBA Museum and the Vasa Museum. Midsummer celebrations in late June. Buffet-style Smögåsbord meals and specialities such as kroppkakor (potato dumplings).
