About Sweden
Sweden blends Scandinavian design, natural beauty, and a rich cultural heritage into one of Northern Europe's most rewarding destinations. Stockholm, the capital, is spread across 14 islands and features the well-preserved medieval old town of Gamla Stan, the ABBA Museum, and the Vasa Museum housing a remarkably intact 17th-century warship.
Swedish Lapland in the far north offers Northern Lights viewing, dog sledding, and the famous Icehotel, while the southern countryside is dotted with red wooden farmhouses and tranquil lakes. Sweden's famous fika tradition of coffee and pastries is woven into daily life. Note that Sweden uses the Swedish krona rather than the Euro, so you will need to exchange currency or use a card.
