Sweden stretches 1,574 km from the farmland of Skåne in the south to the Arctic wilderness of Lapland in the north, making it one of Europe's most geographically varied countries. Stockholm anchors the east coast with its 14-island capital, while Gothenburg on the west coast offers seafood, a laid-back waterfront, and gateway access to the rocky Bohuslän archipelago. Between the cities, Sweden delivers vast boreal forests, over 95,000 lakes, the midnight sun above the Arctic Circle in summer, and the Northern Lights in winter. Swedish design, fika culture, and a commitment to sustainability shape the travel experience from the moment you arrive.
