The Kingdom of Sweden

Sweden is a Nordic country on the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe.

Stockholm

The capital city is built on 14 islands in the unpolluted waters of Mälaren offering the locals swimming, fishing, boating and lazing away summer days in the parks and waterways of the city. The Millesgården is a spectacular park portraying artist Carl Milles’ most famous sculptures with a beautifully balanced stage design of terraces, fountains, stairways, sculptures and columns, coupled with a diversity of vegetation and an immense vista across the waters. The Hallwyl Palace exhibits the Countess von Hallwyl’s unique collection of 50,000 everyday articles and priceless works of art from toothbrushes to Steinway pianos. The Royal Armory is a collection of memories from the country’s different dynasties over almost five hundred years. The Vasa Museum houses a perfectly-preserved warship which sank in Stockholm harbor on its maiden voyage in 1628. Stockholm City Museum also is worth a visit.

Southern Sweden is ideal for both hiking and bicycling, with plenty of scenic small roads and well-marked trails stretching between an abundance of attractive towns, villages, sights and attractions. Skåne, Gotland, Småland, Östergötland, Västergötland and Dalsland attract hikers and campers from near and far. One of the country´s most famous and exclusive salmon waters is the Mörrumån River for some great fishing. Outdoor activities such as climbing, bouldering and mountain biking have excellent scope in Bohuslän, Västergötland, and Småland. The region of Skåne has over 70 golf courses of generally very high standards.
