25 BEST PLACES IN SWEDEN
Sweden is a Scandinavian nation with thousands of coastal islands and inland lakes, along with vast boreal forests and glaciated mountains. Its principal cities, eastern capital Stockholm and southwestern Gothenburg and Malmö, are all coastal. Stockholm is built on 14 islands. It has more than 50 bridges, as well as the medieval old town, Gamla Stan, royal palaces and museums such as open-air Skansen.
1. Lapland
If you like nature, wildlife, and snow, then Lapland is one of the best places to visit in Sweden, especially during winter as you will most likely be able to experience the northern lights as well.
Fancy a medieval experience? Then head to Gotland where the medieval city and city wall of Visby is still standing. If you’re relly into the medieval heritage and culture, you should visit Visby during the medieval week.
Here you can dress up as a knight, go to a traditional market and see tournaments and how people used to live during that period.
