About Sweden

Sweden the largest of the Scandinavian countries, offers you many opportunities for outdoor activities. Its vast forests, 90000 lakes, mountains and the icy tundra of northern Lapland, let you enjoy the tranquil and vast nature of its beautifull countryside.

From northern Lapland with its Sami people and their reindeer herds, to the west coast fishing villages that are a true joy for seafood lovers, to capital Stockholm with its 14 islands on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and Uppsala the ancient Viking city, Sweden offers a true diversity in culture.
