Situated between Norway and Finland in Scandinavia is the country of Sweden. Sweden tourism today has grown out of the large amount of natural resources enjoyed by the country’s inhabitants, including vast forests, shimmering lakes and an extensive archipelago; as well as the architecture left over from centuries past. A number of outdoor activities, including skiing and hiking, can be enjoyed here, as well as tours of some incredible and unique museums.

Main Attractions

Stockholm

This is the archipelagic capital built on 14 islands. In fact this is one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. It is believed to be one of the most important tourist destinations with plenty of museums, theaters, restaurants and other cultural sites and architecture that form the nation’s heritage.

Gothenburg

Located in the western coast, this is the second largest city in Sweden and the most frequented one. Tourists flock in large numbers throughout the year as the climate remains congenial throughout. It is considered friendlier than Stockholm the capital.

Gamla stan

Gamla stan refers to the Old Town neighborhood in Stockholm, which is by far one of the best tourist attractions in Sweden due in large part to its historical charm. The area dates to the 13th century, and some of the best Stockholm hotels can be found here. This is also where you will find the Stock Exchange Building.

Uppsala

This is the fourth largest city in Sweden in the province of Svealand. The city is quite lively and happening as this mostly inhabited by the student community from around the country. The city houses two of the well-known Universities of Sweden.

Operan

This is the name for the Royal Swedish Opera, located in Stockholm. This is one of the best tourist attractions in Sweden for opera lovers, as well as those interested in dance and theater. Shows of one kind or another happen most nights of the week, and you can purchase tickets in person or online.

Skeppsholmen Island

Vasa Museum

This is the most widely visited museum in Scandinavia and one of the most unique Sweden tourist attractions. The Vasa Museum showcases the remains of a sunken ship from the 16th century, which was recovered in the 20th century. Clothing, jewels, money and other items from the ship are on display.

Visby

The town of Visby is one of the best preserved examples of a medieval town found in northern Europe. Not only is the town square still in tact, but so are many of the original alleys and buildings. Most notable is the 2 ½ mile stone wall that still surrounds the city.

Lapland

Located to the far north is the tundra-like landscape in Sweden known as the Lapland. This is where an indigenous people continues to make their home in the snowy cold, and also happens to be one of the last true wildernesses left on earth. Getting there is easier than most travelers think, from Stockholm.

Ice Hotel

As the name suggests, the Ice Hotel is a hotel in northern Sweden made entirely of ice. Constructed and re-constructed winter after winter, the Ice Hotel takes guests during the coldest months of the year.
