Sweden

Stockholm Old Town

Being the largest of the Scandinavian countries, Sweden offers many cultural and outdoor activities. Visit the cities and explore the country’s glorious past or the life in a cosmopolitan and modern society. If you need rest from the hectic city life, just leave for the countryside, and vast forests, 90,000 lakes, mountains and the beautiful sea await you.

Though on the outskirts of Europe, Sweden was never a culturally outpost. The reigning royalty often invited foreign artists to their courts and also stimulated the development of local artists. Furthermore the Swedish developed their own traditions in design, painting and architecture. Gothenburg City hall was a widely followed example of traditionalistic architecture.

The four greatest cities  Stockholm, Norrkoping/Linkoping Twin Cities, Gothenburg and Malmo display varied characteristics. The capital Stockholm is beautiful, hi-tech oriented and full of history.
