In these few pages about holidays in Sweden, you will find some ideas to take on board or tailor as you see fit. Stockholm is a must. About 80 kilometres long and linked by dozens of walkways, its archipelago extends to the Baltic Sea and promises an unforgettable visit, so unique is its makeup. Are you a music fan? In that case, your reflexes will lead you first to the museum dedicated to the legendary ABBA. The Château of Drottningholm, however, will be the opportunity to bond with the past. Or you could choose the attractions of the little Viking village on the island of Björkö where the children will have fun dressing up as real Nordic warriors. Well to the north, you can discover the vastness of Lapland and the mythical aurora borealis. You will get to meet reindeer farmers in the Sâmes lands. You will feel like a real Laplander as you course through the immaculate snow to the pace of the sleigh dogs, and perhaps you’ll push on to discover the cold airs even further on when you choose the ice hotel at Jukkasjärvi as your refuge.
How can you resist the appeal of the serenity of the Värmland countryside, its lakes and forests as far as you can see, where the only warmth comes from the colours of a few houses in red wood? How could you ignore the tranquillity emanating from the Vättern and Vänern lakes, as deep as they are cold?
Very close by, you will be able to admire the medieval attraction of the Château Örebro or even take an animated paddle in the Göta canal. Evaneos.com’s favourite is a lot further east towards the island of Farö. Its dozens of “raukar”, limestone pillars formed by the frenzy of the sea, and the roughness of its scenery give it an apocalyptic appearance that is unique in the world. It is also this unusual setting that inspired the film director Bergman for many of his films. Here is a world where the silence is only broken by the dull sounds of the glacial wind and where nature still reigns!
Either as a couple or with your family, Sweden is an ideal destination for discovering the magic of the Nordic countries and recharging your batteries amid overriding nature. These ideas are to be developed in accordance with your desires and the country has many other marvels besides in store for you to discover.
