Located between Norway and Finland in the Scandinavian region of Northern Europe, Sweden is one of the richest and most stable countries in the world.
To avoid the cold and dark winter many visitors choose to arrive during the summer months of June to August.
Don’t forget to try a Swedish-style sauna and some traditional local cuisine such as meatballs and pickled herring.
Visitors can enjoy a wide array of attractions across the country, from the frozen beauty of the Arctic Circle in the far north to the modern cities and beach-lined coast of the south.
However, if you want to witness the extraordinary northern lights you will need to bring some warm clothing with you as they are only visible from September to March.
