Overview |
From the Arctic wilderness to the crisp blue waters of the Baltic Sea, Sweden is best known for its great outdoors with endless fresh Scandinavian air. But never forget to appreciate its sophisticated beach resorts and elegant modern cities, too. |
The west coast |
Head from Gothenburg and you enter a world of rocky offshore islands, plunging fjords, fishing villages and uncluttered beaches. Excursion destinations include the idyllic small town of Strömstad on the Norwegian border and the tiny archipelago of Marstrand, a summer Mecca for water sports devotees of every kind. |
The south coast |
In complete contrast, the southernmost province of Skane offers a beautiful landscape peppered with old castles and mansions. The coastal region of the south is known as the Swedish Riviera, famous for its fine sandy shoreline and fashionable seaside resorts, such as Torekov and Bastad. |
Mid and northern Sweden |
Described as the last great European wilderness, the tree-clad hills, crystal-clear lakes, mighty rivers and snow-capped mountains of central and northern Sweden are a paradise for hikers, climbers and skiers. Sweden's most prestigious and popular mountain retreats include Ave, which nestles at the foot of the Areskutan mountain, Tanndalen high up on the southern slopes of Mount Skarvarna, and Salen in the folklore region of Dalarna. Bustling with downhill and cross-country skiers enjoying the excellent snow in the winter months, these picturesque alpine village resorts are just as popular with hikers in the typically long sunny days of a Scandinavian summer. |
