Sweden is the shimmering pearl of northern Europe, from the sunny Baltic coast of the Blekinge region to the dazzling arctic landscapes of Sápmi, or Lapland, in the north. Anywhere you go you are sure to spot at least one or two of the Scandinavian country’s typical pretty red cottages ('stuga'). Stockholm, the capital, is alive with hip cafés and trend-setting inhabitants, while Gothenburg is its pleasant and easy-going sibling on the west coast.
With almost three quarters of Sweden covered in vegetation, it is by far the most forested country in Europe. This, along with the incredibly high number of lakes and the fact that it is the country with most islands in the entire world, accounts for the attractiveness of Sweden as a travel destination. And Swedes know how to make the most of the natural gifts they are so lucky to have been blessed with. ‘Allemansrätten’ is the right every person in Sweden has to make temporary use of every inch of public and private land in the country for recreational purposes. This gives visitors and locals the freedom to respectfully and responsibly roam around and discover every single corner of this northern beauty.
Sveriges tredjestørste by, Malmö i Sydsverige, er symbol på international mangfoldighed og en kreativ og nysgerrig minimetropol. Det var oprindeligt en industriby, men Malmö er i dag et videnscentrum, der er kendt for sit miljøarbejde.
Her finder du Skandinaviens ældste renæssanceslot tæt på det nye topmoderne og bæredygtige kvarter Västra Hamnen. Eurovisionens Melodi Grand Prix 2013, VM i juniorishockey 2014 og VM i ishockey 2015 beviser, at Malmö er garant for internationale begivenheder.
For de fleste er Vimmerby mest kendt for Astrid Lindgren, da det var her hun blev født og voksede op. Astrid har sat sit spor i hele Vimmerby, og i dag er Vimmerby stedet, hvor måske især børnefamilierne finder eventyret og de allerbedste oplevelser. Med attraktioner som Astrid Lindgrens Värld, Katthult og Virum älgpark er der masser af muligheder for at få en munter ferie.
Velkommen!
