What to see in Sweden

Sweden is unlikely to be at the top of the list of top tourist destinations. Nevertheless, this Scandinavian country has a lot to offer travellers. There are in Sweden and historical sites and beautiful nature, and much more, which will certainly impress even the most discerning travelers. Moreover, each city of the country has its own “highlights” for tourists.

Stockholm

The capital of Sweden is a city with an 800-year history, beautifully preserved historic architecture, and a variety of attractions for every taste.

You can’t miss the Royal Palace, Kungströdgården Gardens and the Stockholm Castle. And music lovers shouldn’t miss the museum dedicated to ABBA, Sweden’s national pride.

This is not a complete list of things to see in Stockholm. You’ll need to visit more than once to get a glimpse of all the things to see in this beautiful city.

Gothenburg

With a history dating back to the 17th century, Gothenburg is one of Europe’s most majestic and beautiful cities. The architecture of Gothenburg is austere and impressive in all seasons. In autumn and winter, you can enjoy the grandeur of the streets, squares and canals cutting through the city. In spring and summer, this splendour is enhanced by the lush greenery of the city’s trees and shrubs.

Gothenburg also boasts chic clubs, excellent Scandinavian and European restaurants, amusement parks that rival Disneyland, and museums. Visiting this Swedish city, it would be simply impossible not to visit the Maritime Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Art Museum. Fans of music and theatre won’t want to miss the Opera Harbour, one of Europe’s leading musical theatres.

Malmö

This Swedish city, formerly a Danish city until the mid-17th century, offers something for everyone. You can admire the beautifully preserved, quaint old architecture. You can wander the grounds of the cult film series The Bridge, set in Malmö. Or head to the Möllevongen district, a huge cosmopolitan market offering food from almost every kitchen in the world, and almost anything you can buy – of course, if it’s not illegal.

Uppsala

The city is home to Sweden’s oldest university, once home to one of Sweden’s greatest teachers, the biologist Carl Linnaeus, whose research led to Darwin’s theory of evolution.

The city, founded in the 13th century, is also known for its superb medieval architecture. Uppsala, in particular, is home to Scandinavia’s tallest Gothic cathedrals.

Uppsala is often visited by tourists whose main destination is Stockholm. After all, the colourful university city is only an hour’s drive from the Swedish capital.
