Sweden is an idyllic place, and well worthy of anyone’s
holidaying time. Still not convinced? Well, let these ‘6 reasons to visit
Sweden’ compound our point, and bite you with the Scandinavian traveling bug.
The Winters
Due to its northern location, Sweden receives some of the most
beautiful snowfall to trim the landscapes with. It’s arguably due to the intense
coldness that the people have such character and welcome tourists with open
arms. If you’re into winter sports, there’s no better destination than Sweden to
get your fix. Why not hire a jet ski and travel around the frozen lakes in a
novel way? Then wash it down with a great Swedish jug of beer to truly do the
destination proud.
Music Festivals
There are some brilliant music festivals in Sweden. One of the best is Way
out West, in Gothenburg. This is held in Slottsskogen Park and is one of the
biggest in Europe. Drawing some of the best acts from across the world, this is
the best way to fuse the freedom loving spirit of a festival with the open and
gorgeous climate of the Swedish landscape.
The Nature
Sweden is one of the more idyllic countries, with wide-ranging mountains, trees, lakes and wildlife. The cities and natural national parks are closely interlinked, so you’re never too far away from one to visit the other. This will be an awesome opportunity to reconnect with nature and explore your inner free Viking spirit.
The Northern Lights
The northern lights
are the most observable and beautiful in Sweden. If you’ve only seen them in
pictures or video, that doesn’t do it justice. Sitting and basking in cosmic awe
as you rest in a beautiful natural environment is almost too amazing to fully
absorb. You’ll be sure to remember the experience for the rest of your life.
Wildlife
Sweden has a beautiful array of varied wildlife, and the
untouched natural landscapes only add to that. In fact, you can easily find wild
reindeer in Sweden, which is sure to capture the imagination of your children if
you take them.
Stockholm
Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and is rife with lakes,
canals, islands and rich cultural diversity. It has historical architecture,
huge and varied entertainment possibilities, and some of the best food in
Scandinavia.
If you’ve never visited Scandinavia, Sweden is an excellent
place to start. You’re sure to take more photo’s here than any other tourist
destination thanks to the undoubtedly beautiful landscape and amazing,
down-to-earth people.
