Information

Sweden is located in Scandinavia, North Europe. With just over nine million inhabitants in an area larger than California and nearly as large as France or Spain, Sweden has plenty of unspoilt nature. The Swedish countryside is full of green forests and beautiful lakes, a perfect place for outdoor activities like fishing, golfing, horse riding and bathing in the summer.

In the bigger cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö you find a rich nightlife bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants.

The country attracts visitors all year round, not only thanks to its diversity in landscape, but also its vital energy and contrast of lights, shades and seasons that offer new discoveries with every visit

During the hardest winter months, the northern parts of Sweden is known for its limited sunlight which, coupled with the northerly location, makes it one of the best places on earth to see the Northern Lights. October through April, when weather conditions are favourable, you can see the kaleidoscopic Aurora Borealis light up the dark winter sky, a spectacular phenomenon not to be missed. Sweden more than makes up for this lack of sunlight during the summer time; May through August provides long days with bright nights.
