Sweden:
The Swedish summer blossoms in hundreds of colors. Behind every hill another landscape with lovely lakes and rough rocks appears. Sweden has almost 3.000 kilometres of beaches. The salmon swims and the midnight sun are some of the most fascinating natural events in Sweden. Home of the Volvo and the Vikings, you can travel quickly from the sophisticated to the wild. Ride a train north from Stockholm to Lapland, and you`ll be transported from one of the most cultured, orderly cities in the world to the eerie, untamed beauty of Arctic wilderness. In Sweden, you are never far from water and sailboats. The capital of Sweden is Stockholm - it is the most beautiful city of the country and also a trendy city. The atmosphere in Stockholm is very relaxed and international. The city has certain `grandeur` because of the many lakes, parks, broad avenues, palaces and other monumental buildings. Everywhere there are nice shops, cafés, restaurants, theatres and museums. Stockholm is a city easily explored by foot and where visitors feel immediately at home. Swedish chefs have won many prizes in recent years in contests with Europe`s best. You cannot escape modern Swedish design, now enjoying a renaissance with many young designers and artists. Beyond Stockholm, Sweden`s attractions range from the Ice Hotel and the Sami people`s reindeer roundups in Lapland to the design trails in Småland in the southern part of the country where the world-famous glassworks like Orrefors and Kosta can be visited. Sweden`s highest mountain is Kebnekaise, 2,117 metres (6,950 ft) above sea level. Sweden is a diverse land filled with lakes, forests, mountains, valleys, beaches, islands, quaint villages and urban centers. There`s a feeling of spaciousness in many regions because of Sweden`s low population density. Most people live in cities and villages in the south. The north, which encompasses Lapland and more, is known for its midnight sun, northern lights displays and the Sami people (Sweden`s aboriginal culture). More than 50% of the land is forested. Whether you prefer strolling through museums or moose spotting in the forest, you`ll find that Sweden is something special. Sweden welcomes visitors with a tremendous variety of events and experiences, ranging from a peaceful countryside of lakes and forests, and the long coastline of islands and archipelagos to the tundra of Lapland. From the far north to the deep south Sweden has a wide variety of climates, activities and scenery that will stimulate your senses and satisfy your every need.
