Sweden is famous for outdoor activities like skiing, sailing, canoeing, angling, golf and fell walking, but Sweden is a lot more...

Sweden has impenetrable forests, special in the north and sunny beaches and farmland in the south. Stockholm is a modern Nordic capital and is the capital of waterways, green parks and royal monuments.

Unique outdoor activities

In the summertime, you have long days with daylight and, to the north, the Midnight sun and the main activities are hiking, swimming, canoeing, cycling or sunbathing.

In winter, the Swedish people love outdoor activities like skiing, dog sledging, and enjoy candlelight and the local drink glögg indoors.

The capital Stockholm

In Stockholm, you find the historic old city Gamla Stan (Old Town) with narrow streets and beautiful old houses many hundred years old.

But Stockholm is also a modern and sophisticated metropolis and famous for Nordic design, shopping, nightlife and a hotbed of innovation in information technology.
