    The harmony between man and nature, open spaces, the sweetness of life which flirts with the monotony of the landscape of absolute quiet, these are the images that you cannot escape by Sweden. Some believe that the aurora borealis is without a doubt the most beautiful thing to see on our planet. The first time they attend to this phenomenon, people are usually amazed. Sweden has a king; Carl XVI Gustaf is king since 1973. Sweden has a border with Norway in the west and another with Finland in the north-east. South, Denmark, which the country is connected by the Oresund Bridge, is located 4 km offshore. Northern Sweden is occupied by the Lapland Sápmi called by its inhabitants, the Sami, which were the original inhabitants of northern Scandinavia.

    Stockholm

    Sweden’s capital is one of the most beautiful major cities in the world, a mirage of saffron- and terracotta-colored buildings shimmering between blue water and bluer skies all summer, or covered with snow and dotted with lights in winter. It’s also a vibrant, modern city, famous for producing sleek designs, edgy fashion and world-class nightclubs. Stockholmers themselves are almost uniformly polite and friendly, making travel both easy and rewarding. Around 16% of greater Stockholm’s 1.2 million people are immigrants, which creates a much more multicultural and diverse cityscape than many travelers might expect. It’s certainly not all meatballs, ABBA and IKEA these days!

    Gothenburg

    Often caught in Stockholm’s shadow, gregarious Göteborg socks a mighty punch of its own. Some of the country’s finest talent hails from its streets, including music icons José González and Soundtrack of Our Lives. Ornate architecture lines its tram-rattled streets, grit-hip cafes hum with bonhomie, and must-sees include Scandinavia’s amusement park heavyweight, Liseberg. Best of all, Göteborg is comparatively cheaper than its east-coast rival, making it a top introduction to Sweden!

    Swedish Lapland

    In summer, the sun never sets and it can get hot, but until the beginning of the season, it is possible to ski in many ski stations. Many activities are possible such as: hiking, downhill and cross country skiing, fishing, boating, rafting, climbing, snowmobiling, cycling, dog sled tours, walks back reindeer tours and icebreakers. Meet the Sami nation, natives in Scandinavia, with a unique culture, crafts and traditions of its own. The Aurora Sky Station in Abisko National Park has been specially constructed so that we can observe the most beautiful light show in the world: the aurora borealis.

These days the Danish capital is blossoming. There is a spring in its step borne from a mixture of some brave new architecture, continued prosperity and a burgeoning confidence in its own charms. There are more cafés and restaurants than ever! Copenhagen is clean, safe and ridiculously easy to get to know, the locals all speak superb English and the transport system makes London’s look like it’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It usually makes the top five, if not the top spot, as the “most livable city”!

    The Funen

    Funen (Fyn) is engagingly pretty, with rural scenery, thatched farmhouses and a surprisingly varied set of attractions. The chirpy modern city of Odense is Hans Christian Andersen crazy – sculptures of trolls lounge on street corners, duckling-and-swan mobiles dangle from gift shop windows, and even the lights at pedestrian crossings feature a certain well-known fairy-tale writer. Even if you scoff at fantastical fabrications, Odense will have something to hold you – old steam engines, manatees at the zoo, imposing churches and cathedrals, art galleries, open-air museums and chilledout boat rides on the river.

This region is home to Denmark’s longest river: the Gudenå, Jutland’s biggest lake (Mossø) and Denmark’s highest point, Ejer. In many countries, visiting the land would probably be a passport to gob smacking scenery and have you reaching for your camera and grasping for superlatives. Not in Denmark!
