About Sweden
Sweden is a country rich in opportunities, from the beauty of the North to the castles of the southern provinces. In North Sweden, you can visit the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvi, practise dog sledging, ice fishing and much more. In the South, you can explore the coastline with its many islands.
Sweden has a modern industrial culture, but its people have preserved provincial traditions as the country is relatively isolated. Many folklore festivals are organised in the country all year round.
Stockholm, the capital, is a beautiful and fashionable city, containing many great museums, buildings and other attractions, including great opportunities for entertainment. The Swedish cuisine is also worth trying.
