Lappland
Honest people still exist. In most parts of Lappland, people don't even close their cars when shopping.

Gamla Stan
Charming old streets and alleys, shops and restaurants, views of Stockholm harbour, Gamla Stan is deservedly one of the primary attractions of the Swedish capital.

Christmas Lights
A recent visit to Scandinavia took me to a Christmas market full of lights.

Gothenburg
Gothenburg is a stepping stone from the sea to the enormous Scandinavian lands.

Systembolaget
In Sweden, buying alcohol can only be done in special shops called Systembolaget.

Stockholm Ice Bar
Why sit in a heated place when you can also stand in a real ice bar? An iglo-like bar inside a Stockholm hotel makes it possible.

Gamla Uppsala
Not far from present-day Uppsala lie the ancient ruins of the old settlement which have been used since Viking times.

Stockholm Winter
Stockholm is a port built on the seaside, which in winter turns into a magnificent ice wonderland, with the opportunity to view the city from the ice.

Delsjön
The closest you can get to Scandinavian nature while in Gothenburg is Delsjön, great for walking, running, canoeing or just relaxing.

Djurgården
Stockholm is not a stressful place, but if you need to step out of city life anyway, go to Djurgården, a spacious, green island offering various museums and a luna park as well.

Vasa Museum
The Vasa sank right after she set out to sail in 1628, was salvaged in the 1960s and is now the only 17th century ship to be seen in the world.

Gothenburg Archipelago
Lovely quiet islands lie just in front of Gothenburg and can easily be visited. They are great for spending time at a beach, wandering over the car-free islands, watching birds, and just relax.
|
Stockholm waterfront
Stockholm is a city built on islands where water plays a defining role. A good way to explore this elegant city is to just keep on walking along the waterfront.
|
Haga
Once the first suburb of Gothenburg, Haga has grown into a cosy district right under the hill on which you can find Skansen Kronan, the fortification that once defended the city.
