Top places to visit in Sweden
Kiruna, Lapland
High above the Arctic Circle, this is where to go to experience truly pristine Arctic wilderness. Where dense, deserted forests crackle with ice and the footsteps of reindeer and wild moose, and the Northern Lights dance above your head – you’ll feel a million miles from the everyday here.
Stockholm
The gorgeous capital city, well known for its picturesque archipelago, historic old Town (Gamla Stan), royal palaces, and museums. That’s not the mention an array of world-class restaurants and beautiful hotels.
Gothenberg
A charming coastal city with canals, seafood markets, the Liseberg amusement park, and beautiful gardens.
Visby, Gotland
A UNESCO-listed medieval town with well-preserved city walls, cobbled streets, and historical ruins, perfect for a summer visit, but magical in winter, too.
