SWEDEN Sweden is a Scandinavian country that offers the unmatched beauty of Nature and is home to sports-loving and adventurous people. Its large open spaces will fill your lungs with refreshing air as you explore the panoramic outdoors or enjoy the thrills and fun activities in its many theme parks. If you are a lover of art and architecture, history and culture, do visit an ancient castle or one of those elegant manor houses or exquisite museums.

The fifth largest European country, Sweden has Finland and Norway as its borders. The Oresund Bridge connects it with Denmark. Though Scotland is larger in size than the other Scandinavian countries, it has a low density of population which makes it a preferred destination for a large number of tourists. They come in hordes just to see the spectacular Northern Lights or to go on a thrilling skiing expedition on its stark and stunning mountain slopes capped in snow, not to speak of a variety of other exciting things to see and do in this fascinating country. And to boot, it offers the visitor a warm and welcome ambience apart from exotic and delicious cuisine.

Regardless of whether you come to Sweden in summer or winter, you will get to see the amazing extremes of light in the Swedish skies. For almost two months in summer, the Midnight Sun never sets on the horizon, but is constantly visible at its seat in the northern region of the Arctic Circle. Night remains as a magical extension of the sunny day, all in all offering the blissful pleasures of skiing or hiking on the mountain slopes. The Polar Night in winter is an equally remarkable experience. You will see the sun always below the horizon, simmering with a dim glow, but never rising, and this is when you can witness the wonderful sight of the heavenly hues of Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), the only one of its kind in the world.

Sweden is the place for health freaks and fitness fans. It is among the world leaders in terms of high standards of living as well as high life expectancy. Though Swedish is the official language, communication is never a constraint for the tourist since English is also widely spoken. Apart from its striking natural beauty complete with lakes, mountains and wildlife, a unique attraction for the visitor is Sweden’s seemingly never-ending summer days with the sun never setting in the North. Its cool cities–especially Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo–will leave you enamoured with the most memorable experiences that you can ever have. More About Sweden
