A blog about Sweden and the Swedes

– Tradition, culture, politics, economy and history

Sweden is a rich country

In many ways, Sweden is a rich country. Not only financially and historically, but also traditionally as well as culturally.

Everywhere you go there is breathtaking beauty and a unique variety in scenery: Crystal clear lakes perfect for fly fishing, snowcovered mountains with long trails made for hikers, deep forests rich on wild life, authentic historical monuments, bright yellow rape fields, meadows blooming with poppy, buttercups and daisies, widespread white sand beaches… The list is endless…

Follow my blogg about Sweden and the Swedes to gain even more insight and learn about culture, tradition, food and sights that’s typical for Sweden and for the Swedes.

Why not get started straight away with an exclusive guided tour, starting way up north in Lappland, and finishing way down south in Skåne. Let’s go!

From north to south

The north of Sweden offers a spectacular wild life and beautiful nature: From snowy mountain tops to remote villages, beautiful hiking tracks, clear forest lakes and milespread open land.

In south Sweden the variety of nature continues, with bright yellow rape seed fields, white sand beaches and huge forests. In addition to all this there’s the beautiful bike trails, the traditional apple farms, the art exhibitions and the museums.

From east to west

The east coast of Sweden offers a stunning archipelago with hundreds of islands to visit and explore. You’ll find anything from culinary hot-spots and friendly bars to fast food restaurants, cosy coffee shops, white sand beaches, boat rentals and various outdoor activities.

The west coast of Sweden is widely known for its cosy fishing villages, beautiful islands, sea food and, of course, the city of Gothenburg.

The largest city in Sweden

The capital city of Sweden is by far the largest, housing close to 1 million people. It is also home to the Swedish Royal Family, the Swedish Parliament and the Head of State, Magdalena Andersson.

Stockholm is a truly magnificent city, situated on the east coast more or less surrounded by water. This city offers all you could ever wish for in terms of sights, architecture, parks, gastronomy, shopping, sports…

The friendliest city in Sweden

Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden, situated about 50 kilometres west of Stockholm and home to approximately seven hundred thousand people.

Gothenburg is often referred to as a “small big city”, which means it offers eveything a big city does but in a friendlier way. I guess that is why the city of Gothenburg has been appointed “The friendliest city in Europe”.

Regardless of where you go you’ll be surrounded by beautiful sceneries, stunning nature and memorable sites.
