About Sweden
Sweden is located in northern Europe and is a country of culture-filled cities, frozen terrain, and thousands of bridges linking various communities across its more than 200,000 islands.
The country packs plenty to see and do regardless of whether you visit during winter or summer. Locals love to spend hours outdoors late into the evening during the white nights in summer while taking a dip into the sea. Winter activities range from dog
sledding and skiing to catching a glimpse of the northern lights. Regardless of your choice, you’ll find an array of activities for every type of traveler.
Sweden is well connected to the rest of Europe with nearly every mode of transportation including plane, train, car, bus, and boat. Swedish people speak exceptionally good English especially in the larger cities. Like most of northern Europe, the Swedes
watch American television without dubbing so they are exposed to English throughout life from a young age. If you come during summer, you’re sure to find a more lively and vibrant community. Winter is a completely different experience with incredibly
short and cold days but winter activities in Sweden are some of the best.
Sweden offers comfortable accommodations of all types including backpacker hostels, hotels and luxury resorts. Camping is a possibility in the warmer months given the vast amount of forest area. The country even offers up some incredibly unique lodging
including tree hotels in the forests and ice hotels in the north.
