Experience the midnight sun, the snowbound winters, meatballs, herring, Vikings, Volvos, ABBA and the Hives – whatever your pre-existing notions about Sweden may be, a visit to this multifaceted country is bound to both confirm and confound them. Urban cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö consistently churn out cultural masterpieces for an international audience. The Island of Gotland, lying roughly equidistant between Sweden and Latvia, is Sweden’s historical area but it is also a hip party place at night time.
Stockholm is a major international city with great shopping facilities, abundant eateries, fabulous hotels, an internationally renowned club and a vibrant cultural life. Stockholm wows everyone with its sheer natural beauty and is a city about 700 years old, spread across 14 islands as it faces out to the Baltic Sea. The best way to catch all of Stockholm’s many wondrous sites is on foot. One can also take a boat trip that will give a different facet of Scandinavia’s largest and probably most beautiful city. One of Stockholm’s top attractions, Djurgarden is an island, right in the middle of Stockholm, known for its beautiful green spaces, events, parks, and tourist attractions. The island of Djurgarden gets more than 10 million visitors each year.
