Sweden

The largest country in the Nordic region, from the Stockholm archipelago to the northern lights of Lapland, combining urban design with wild nature.

Sweden occupies the eastern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, long and narrow from north to south and dotted with forests and lakes. The capital, Stockholm, is built on an archipelago and has an old town and many museums. Gothenburg is the gateway to the west coast, Visby on the island of Gotland has well-preserved medieval walls, and the High Coast is a World Heritage site for its distinctive land uplift landscape. In northern Lapland, Kiruna and Abisko are prime spots for watching the northern lights and the midnight sun. Summer suits archipelago and city trips, while winter suits the northern lights and snow and ice activities. The main international gateway is Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
