About Sweden

Stockholm balances on fourteen islands with a metro-as-art-gallery underneath and a contemporary food scene that pushes far past meatballs. Gamla Stan is the medieval core; Södermalm is where everyone under thirty drinks coffee and shops vintage. Skerries (skärgård) sprawl east into the Baltic on a 30,000-island archipelago.

Go north and the country empties. Swedish Lapland gives you the Icehotel, dog sledding, and the cleanest aurora skies in the EU; the Höga Kusten coast has hiking and herring smokehouses; Gotland holds medieval Visby and limestone sea stacks. Midsummer in late June is the national party — flower crowns and aquavit, around the clock.
